I had a physiotherapist who told me that the obnoxious painscale should be better understood as a distraction scale, pain of 1 can be forgotten by a light breeze, upping the need, 5 is an intense game or talk, and 10 is when you don't notice someone proposes to you

Examples of where some of my diagnoses lie on the McGill Pain Scale an indexing for things "maxing out typical pain scales". Red is for unsure if the constant agonizing burning on my hands is CRPS or "just" Multiple Sclerosis but I'm getting more MRIs booked :(

I hate the painscale.
i said 6, do you not understand how insane that is?
no because a number without clear guidelines means nothing. and if you gave them it doesnt account for "root canal without anesthetic being like.....a 6.

I also once argued with Dr over my 9/10 painscale as my ovary was trying to kill me.

Season 2 of Beef has an episode that takes on the medical system in the United States, but does so in a way that's the tonal and total opposite of The Pitt.

life will show me more painscale 8s, 9s, and 10s before i am done. maybe more than a lot of bodies see in a lifetime. this puts me in a unique position to sit with pain and interrogate what demands action+urgency from me. honest answer: not much, if i aim to live, and i do. i like living

#chronicpain girlies: do you have a pain/flare tracker app that you "like" enough to recommend? the one i have been using (painscale) is shutting down. features important to me are privacy, granular body area tracking, and tracking triggers

![The pain scale for chronic pain sufferers
1 existence is pain
2 everything in my head is tv static
3 sneezing is a contact sport
4 it's impolite to scream as much as I'd like
5 Pokemon critical hit noise playing on repeat
6 standing is a contact sport
7 I still feel it in my dreams there's no escape
8 if I give an honest description of my pain everyone just thinks I'm lying
9 being alive is a contact sport
10 [vacant eyed stare of one who lives in hell and knows they may never be saved]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k7dbfvslwrrmfpbz4pz2p6hr/bafkreiecn3rt7eq57cjwmlond2hocvtdg6yyo5ufgodtwk4axu2z6o7bjm)
