I always like to come to a Dr's appointment with a "sealed envelope" ... what I think the problem is, but not to mention it until they get through with their diagnosis.

Yes doctor, no doctor, I don't think so doctor, yes doctor also my left foot. => He thinks I have a sprained ankle, I think I'm not sleeping well (or whatever) and I'll mention what my guess is at the end (not before) and ask him why my guess is (presumably) wrong.

Of course if you think there's something unusual or your symptoms are severe then of course go to the doctor without delay, but it's also helpful to get a bit of a personal education when you've got time with a specialist.
