When the provider documents this: "The pain started last night and continued all day until today.". Would that be 2 elements: Timing AND duration?
 
Actually, it's vice-versa!

Duration is how long the patient has had the problem, which in this case is since last night ("started last night").

Timing refers to whether it is continuous, comes and goes, or only comes on at certain times of day. So "continued all day until today" would be your timing.
