"Are you in pain?"

Question

I am a dentist. I see a lot of patients in pain.

Answer 1

Maybe a forma approach used in other countries would be more adequate here:

¿Le duele?

In Spain they often say:

si le duele levante la mano.

As you can't talk, that is easier

Answer 2

We usually use

¿Tiene dolor? (formal)

or

¿Tienes dolor? (less formal)

Dr, there is a small pocket reference for English-Spanish medical questions and terminology. It is probably available at a book store or Amazon. If you have trouble finding it, please send me a message and I'll try to get the information to you. It is invaluable as a quick reference.

Answer 3

Welcome to the forum. I would have said ¿Tienes dolor?. The translator here is pretty good for phrases like this, but always double-check the answer. It can be pretty silly sometimes.

Answer 4

¿Te duele? or **¿Te está doliendo?
