know thats different in the case of abdominal pain, if sp show sign of discomfort, then dont try to do deep palpation thats is called do not repeat painful manuver second time and stop right thier, but in the case of shouder, or knee, or ankle pain you have to take a good look for sign of erythma, warmth, tenderness and swelling in that case tell sp that to find out what is going on you need to examine the joint or exterimity but assure them that you will be as gental as possible and proceed with inspection, palpation and ROM, but be careful if some manuver elicit pain than do not repeat it and try to finish it quikly and assure sp(by empathy) that you know how mach in pain he or she is but this is important to find out the cause of pain.hope will help
