Kidney stones are a solid nine. Only because I assume being set on fire is worse. 12/11/2011 9:46:48 PM |

up to a 6 or 7 today... (localized in my knee)... i hurt my knee (somehow) walking around after surgery... when i was in the hospital i did a lot of walking in socks and flip flops... maybe not used to that?
I can feel a lot of fluid accumulation on the outer portion of the joint... anyone had this happen before? it is significantly worse today than it was yesterday when it first started.

I think anything that causes you to pass out from pain can be counted as a 10. When I have appendicitis and was crawling around on the ground puking up bile, blacking out, and shivering severely from abdominal pain, I would have classified it as a 10 if I had been able to talk at the time.12/12/2011 9:17:54 AM |

^ agreed
I would classify my burn as a 9 - the only reason it didn't get a 10 is because I didn't pass out... But I sure as hell as blacked out for a while
Right now I'm at a 4 or so. My joints are so stiff and hurt

I think I'm at a 7/8 right now because of the location of the pain (underside of foot), but not the actual pain. The pain is about a 3/4, but it hurts every time I put my foot down...so it SUCKS.
I'm worried its plantar fascitis...something both my dad and sister have. It's coming from my the arch.
I'm hoping some rest will cure it. I ran a lot this past week and I was on my feet a lot more than usual. Don't want to cut down on the exercising during the holidays, but it might be necessary. 12/12/2011 9:26:24 AM |

I'm starting to get pain in my heels and back of knee. I think fluid is beginning to settle. I begged my significant other to take me on a walk today.tomorrow is the big trip of getting the drain out. I think a 10 is crying in pain and passing out. Kidney stones are worse then gall to me. I asked the nurse if childbirth was worse, she just laughed at me said yes and proceeded to tell me how she got knocked up as a teen and her mom made her give birth without pain meds 12/12/2011 11:06:39 AM |

Childbirth is not worse than kidney stones. I've heard several women say they'd rather give birth than have kidney stones.
With kidney stones, I suffered for ten days and was in so much pain that I vomited. Child birth isn't nearly as long. When I was pregnant the first time, I'd just gotten over a bought of kidney stones and when I told the OB, she was like "Then childbirth will be easy." 12/12/2011 11:16:00 AM |

9. The first thing I did this morning was cry while eating ice cream. This strep is probably the second worse case I've ever had, I sure hope these antibiotics start working soon

anyone ever had gallstones/gallbladder infection? I've had on and off pain in my upper abdomen and back, it's fluctuating from like a 5 to a 7 I guess? Just a steady cramping like pain that makes me want to hunch over. It will wake me up in the middle of the night, nauseated, hurts so bad I get chills. I've been up last night since about 3AM I just looked up some symptoms and that's what it came back with I just had my appendix out a few years ago so I know it's not that. This sucks 1/11/2012 10:11:17 AM |

8....The top of my left shoulder (i guess the end of the collar bone? whatever knob/bump that you can feel before you get to your arm) hurts so bad. I think I must irritate them the most doing the flys machine at the gym. 1/11/2012 11:20:45 AM |

seeing people overestimate their pain scale is kinda funny.
people dont understand what a 9 or 10 is, until they really understand what a 9 or 10 is. 1/11/2012 11:24:48 AM |
BobbyDigital Thots and Prayers 41777 Posts user info edit post |
she called one of them out yesterday on their 10/10 pain, and they insisted it was 10/10 pain.
then the guy pulled his epidural tube out of the pump out of being a dickfor
and found out how bad the pain could be.
of course he then called it a 13/10 pain level.
moron.
She's a better person than I. I'd have let him writhe. 1/11/2012 11:26:35 AM |

It's all based on what you've experienced so how could they?
^^So basically this.
A kidney stone they had to go up in with a claw grabber to remove was my 10/10. Urinated pure blood after I woke up from that one.

Currently a 2...a little discomfort worth this congestion/cold. Although I wouldn't even call out pain...just inconvenient and annoying. 1/11/2012 11:59:12 AM |

I base the 1-10 scale on the worst pain I have ever felt, which was actually a really bad case of strep. It was the only time I cried in a doctors office. Also, I feel I can handle some types of pain better than other types. I'd rather have a thousand anchors put in my shoulder, than shake in pain everytime I swallow. Also, I have an earache which is a pain I absolutely hate. I guess its because I had awful ear infections as a child. Pain is so weird. 1/11/2012 12:35:45 PM |

Mine have been at about a 7 or an 8...probably because its a combo of throat pain, adenoid pain, and ear pain due to super inflamed tonsils
But I have really bad tonsillitis which is why I'm having my tonsils removed next month 1/11/2012 5:13:28 PM |

I've been at like a 3 since Saturday. I ate collards, and only collards, and a lot of collards, for lunch for four days in a row last week, and I'm fairly sure I've got a big wad of collards stuck in my gut somewhere. Can't breathe deep or stand up without it hurting. Monday I went to bed at like 8 with a fever. 1/11/2012 8:47:22 PM |
