A patient presents to the doctor's office complaining of "back pain". You enter the room and introduce yourself to the patient. What would be the best opening statement on your part once the patient says "I'm here because my back hurts"?

-"Does your pain radiate into your leg?"
-"Do you have any chronic medical conditions?"
-"Are you having any urinary problems with this back pain?"
-"Please tell me more about your back pain?"
