Step 1 of 4

Where does it hurt?

Choose the main pain area. If several places hurt — pick the most bothersome one.

How to use the results

Step 1: Review the likely diagnoses

Follow the links from the result to detailed pages for each diagnosis to understand the mechanism, symptoms, and diagnostic standards.

Step 2: Have the necessary investigations

Standard minimum — X-ray + MRI. If inflammatory disease is suspected — blood tests (ESR, CRP, RF, ACPA, uric acid).

Step 3: Get a second opinion

Send your scans and reports via our form — Prof. Babayan will personally evaluate your case and provide a free opinion within 48 hours.

Step 4: Choose treatment

Based on the diagnosis — conservative care, regenerative medicine (MIBRAR®), or, with severe indications, surgery. The decision is shared with the doctor.

Important warning

This tool does not replace a doctor's examination. The symptom checker only provides preliminary guidance based on the most common causes and does not account for your unique health features. If you have any "red flag" (limb weakness, urinary dysfunction, fever with spinal pain, weight loss) seek medical care immediately. Regenerative methods are not suitable in every case — the precise decision is made only after detailed diagnostics.
