About 6 years ago, I was in the hospital with awful pain… I was asked where it hit on the 0-10 scale and I said a 9… because I was told “10 is the worst pain you can imagine”.

I have a pretty vivid imagination. I was in the worst pain of my life, but I imagined that having my limbs torn off by a gator would probably hurt more. So I said “9”.

Turned out I had 6 simultaneous kidney stones. As anyone who’s ever had one can tell you, even a single kidney stone is monumentally painful- famously so.

I had 6 at once. 4 in one kidney, and 2 in the other.

When the doctor figured out what was wrong with me, he was floored that I hadn’t said “10”. Floored that I wasn’t screaming.

I told him about my imagination. He asked if I had chronic pain. I told him yeah, and that the reason I waited almost 10hrs to come to the hospital when I started was because “it felt like period cramps”.

His advice? “Any time anyone asks you where you’re at on the 0-10 scale? Add four to account for my chronic pain daily threshold.

This pain scale isn’t as useful, but it’s funny.

I saw it in my orthopedic surgeon’s office.

A useful pain scale:

If you have chronic pain, your baseline may be 6. A good day may be 5.

Don't downplay that for the doctor. If your recent bad day was 8 or 9 - if you regularly have days that hit 8 or 9 - say so.

Part of the problem with doctors ignoring women's pain and people of color's pain, is that people who are disadvantaged are told to "suck it up" a lot, and they downgrade their baseline at 2-4 to zero.

Fuck that.

Describe your pain as if you were an overprivileged white guy who's never actually done 8 hours of manual labor in his life.

#i honestly feel like this post is misunderstanding itself constantly #if we're talking about how people with chronic pain have different pain scales showing more pain scales isnt helpful?#which is not something i say to be rude to anyone who shared this post #but as someone with chronic pain #as is kind of brought up in this post!#my daily pain would be what i would assume is a lot of peoples 6 but if i look at that bottom scale i would clock my pain as a 3 #pain scales can be helpful! but also they make no sense half the time... the descriptions are confusing and hard

Summary:

He chooses an undergrad English course, American Poetry Through the 19th and 21st Centuries. The combined English and History building was a short walk to the library, the class met on Tuesday and Thursday after his regular shifts, reading poetry was a walk in the park compared to the law textbooks he usually skimmed through to study for the bar, and when he plugged “Wyll Ravengard,” into RateMyProfessor he had an overall 4.7 out of 5 rating next to a flaming chili pepper.

Astarion needs to take a class to keep his enrollment status until next quarter. Wyll happens to teach that class.
