Yes. Always get a diagnosis for your pain problems it gives a sense of what the prognosis/expected outcome is likely to be. But having a complex diagnosis sometimes throws patients into more depression and anxiety. I'm my point of view keeping it simple makes worth to work with and prevent unnecessary stress in patients. Patients do understand their own bodies better and that forms our initial working diagnosis. Whatever we find then we are able to communicate it in a simple way.
