🔶 Duration reveals whether the pain is acute or chronic, influencing diagnostic and treatment decisions.
🔶 The client's description, "like it is on fire," provides a subjective quality crucial for clinical interpretation.
🔶 Pain radiating from the foot to the calf signals possible neuropathic pain or vascular involvement, guiding further testing.
