If you go to the pain clinic the first think they ask you. What is your pain level today I always say 5. So, I went today, and I said 6 but I wanted to say more. But I wonder what people say if they ask you. I have had the last 3 days some really bad pain all over neck, shoulder, lower back, legs, arms, hands. I mean all over. So, when you go what do you say.

I'm kinda nervous on that one too!! I pretty much say, 5-6 and they ask, what's your worse pain, I say, 8!! I kinda feel, if I was a 10, I should be in the Hospital!!

They know how much I struggle, 2 failed back surgeries, Horrible arthritis in my hands and feet. I'm scared, for what's coming, I'm close to 70, YIKES!!
THX for listening to me!

Wonderful answer! I’m never lower than a six. When I’m in severe pain my back always hovers around an 8. Except right before the three back surgeries. I was around a 10. Peace and blessings to all!✌🏽
I always say the high number which is around 8. I don’t say it just to get my medication. Because like you said I will get them anyway. I say the high number because between now and my next visit. Just like a couple of days ago. My back pain level will jump up. Last sunday night my back shot up to a 10. That hasn’t happened in almost two years. You just don’t know what’s going to happen. Peace!🙏🏽
