where is your pain located?
chto u tebya bolit? (when addressing to a child)
chto u vas bolit? (when addressing to an adult person)
You can also ask: na chto zhaluesh'sya? (na chto zhaluetes'?)

Are you feeling better?
Stalo li vam (tebe) luchshe?
or
Chuvstvuesh li ty sebya luchshe? (Chuvstvuete li vy sebya luchshe?)

Hello: Privet (rather to somebody whom you know), zdravstvuj (zdravstvujte) is more neutral

Good-bye: do svidaniya

Dear Thomas, I think you should better find some medical phrase book because it is impossible here to help you with all your language problems.
I wish you every succes.

Dobry dyen', gdye(shto) u vas (tebya) bolit?

Dobry dyen' = good day, a universal greeting. Rather short and easy for a foreigner to pronounce.
gdye = where, if you use it the patient will point to the particular spot and will not explain things verbally.
shto = what, if you use this the patient will start explaining things verbally.
u vas = if you address someone you don' t know or your senior.
u tebya = an address to children and friends.
bolit = hurts.
Don't overload yourselves with the sentence structure if you don' t speak Russian.
Are you feeling better = Vam (tebe) lutche?
Hello = dobry dyen', see also above. Privet = hello to friends and children only.
Thank you = spasibo.

The words listed are the easiest and most commonly used but they are not in the least primitive. If you like I can also provide you the stresses to the transcription and you' ll be able to say those words like you were born in Moscow.

Regards, Surge
