At this point there is no diagnosis so it is not a pre-existing condition.  
We all have our aches and twinges.  To mention these to insurance people is 
folly.  Oh, some agents will even tell you to keep quiet so they can sell the 
policy, but once you go to a doctor and it gets on the record then insurance 
companies can do research.  Perhaps when a Health Insurance Plan is offered during 
an "Open Enrollment" there is leeway in this regard.  

Any Insurance people out there?
