If that made you laugh (in addition to its feeling eerily appropriate for those of us with chronic pain), you may also enjoy everything else she has posted on her blog. If you are religious and never enjoy irreligious treatment of religious stories, avoid "The Year Kenny Loggins Ruined Christmas," but if you consider yourself religious or spiritual and can have a sense of humor about things that Pat Robertson would call blasphemous or heretical, you'll likely enjoy that post, too.

HA! That was great!
This pain scale is ingenious! It is so much more communicative, real, and emotionally-involved (which pain necessarily is) than that 1-10 mechanistic scale. I hope the author has plans to disseminate it widely, targeting pain-clinics where it might get much more attention.
Stupid questions (because I think I know the answer must be yes): Does everyone with this infernal problem have: 1)slightly different but generally the same locations of pain; 2) different qualities of pain, e.g. pressure, stretching, burning, dull, sharp, etc.; 3) different durations of pain, e.g. constant vs episodic? Any other differences? Is location a primary consideration in diagnosis? Thanks much.
I loved the pain scale. I'm going to print it out today and take it to my first PT appt. I'm 8 wks post op from left sided TG pudendal nerve decompression surgery. Age: 30. Child's age: 2.
A's Mommy:
How are you feeling, two months post-op?
So true. I hate those things too. Other pain scales are not regularly accepted in clinical practice because they must first be validated- and that takes time and money. I work for a company that is involved in clinical testing for pharmaceutical companies and only learned about it from some of the research I did regarding pain scales. Apparently, the numbers and the ones where you draw your little ex on the sliding scale are regarded as highly accurate, no mater how much we feel they are not.
i could not stop laughing when i checked out the pain-scale. the last red one is pne pain, when you feel that the pain is so psychotic that it is taking over your body and burning you in it. the red little guy is a very fine dood and he sure is suffering and he aint afraid to show it!!!! i wish that i could have gone inside out and eaten all over,......
thank you for reminding me that i can still laugh, hard.
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
