hemophilia posted:i once had this pain in my skull. kind of right at the base? it was back in 2008, I had just turned 18 and I was on the other side of a recent meningitis outbreak and well anyway the doc in a box i saw because of no insurance was scared to poo poo and back and sent me to the hospital and by the time I got there my pain was solidly an 8 and by the time they actually looked at me like 2 hours later It was fully in the '10' territory and it wasn't like any terrestrial body pain i've ever had, it was like the sort of pain reserved for hitler in hell and I told those motherfuckers as such, trying to be modest and keep it in but also screaming at them like they were loving retarded when I heard that 1-10 scale I didn't have a quantifiable number to assign to the pain I felt haha

Gender plays a major role in how the staff will react to you. Guys will get more treatment because of the fact that they are less likely to seek medical attention.

10 pain is fun, happened to me once. I passed out from the pain and when I came to I couldnt move or even scream it hurt so bad. My entire world was just pain. It was really fun and cool.

Tell that to my emergency doctor. "Hey doc here are my symptoms, pretty sure I have appendicitis." He xrays me. "Nah, you're just constipated. Go home and take these powerful laxatives." By the time I made it back twelve hours later barely able to walk and said: "no, seriously, guys, I really think it's appendicitis." It was almost to late and it disintegrated when the surgeon tried to remove it.

I work in the ER and can tell you that frequently people come in calmly saying that their bruised leg/sprained ankle/abdo pain that they've had for 3 months is a 10/10 and you ask them 'hey alright cool what if your arm was being torn off right now would that be more painful' and they'll look at you straightfaced and be like 'no'. These people aren't even drug fishing they're just extremely stupid.

you are supposed to be a little smart and imagine if you had worse pain. like even when I had appendicitis I was only at a 7 or 8 (because I knew it could get worse). I don't know what a 10 would be.

I don't know what a 10 would be. I remember lying in bed in the hospital in agony with my insides all inflamed from being basted in exploded appendix juice... and then I pictured all my pain as a tiny little pebble at the base of the foothills of the looming Himalayas of Human Suffering. I actually felt a bit better after that. Never forget - it can always get worse.

pain has a tendency to alter your perception of reality like people going "yeah i would totally be realistic and only rate severe pain like a 4 or 5" probably wouldnt be so smug if they were actually in pain

It's like a logarithmic scale. Which is nerd talk for saying you need to reserve 8 and 9 for unspeakable demonising agony and 10 for your brain literally oozing out of your skull trying to escape. Anyway, we doing emergency room stories? Ok. Had a recurrence of soul wrecking abdominal pain late one night. Thought it would go away. Nope, instead became worse than it had ever been before. (Like my panceas had been partially eaten by my intestines for mutiny and scheduled for execution but escaped by spraying lipase and amylase everywhere and was now terrorising my spleen.) 3 am visit to emergency, pain so bad I genuinely thought there was a risk I'd die. Several tests later, nothing. Went home with a $3000 bill and a limited prescription for the weakest codeine pills they make. For the record, my pain was an 8 at the worst. An 8 means you can still sorta stumble around for short periods and slur words like "hospital" and "pain" and "bad", before collapsing into a heap and shriek-crying uncontrollably while begging everyone around you for death.

Fojar38 posted:pain has a tendency to alter your perception of reality when i was younger i had this huge migrane that lasted for about a week and one morning i woke up and felt a little better then i coughed and that brought the pain back and it was so bad that i couldnt do anything but fall back in to the bed and scream for a good minute or two and at the time i was in to TKD, baseball/football, and lifted weights so i wasn't exactly a wimpy kid so lol at people who think that they can just shrug off agonizing pain try getting rushed to the ER at 3 am because you let out a little cough and it made your head explode

I always thought the point of the question was to get the patient to try and put their pain in perspective which can help alleviate the symptoms a bit. Does it actually affect your treatment at all?

One time OP I broke my jaw, my two front teeth out, my knee in two spots an I had a concussion. The doctor asked me to rate the pain from 0-10 I said 2 because nothing hurt. Then 6 years later I was getting scans for my wisdom teeth removal and the dentist asked me how I broke my jaw. Now I'm self conscious about lump of scar tissue under my jaw that no one can see. Basically gently caress that pain chart.

I'm reminded of reading about using a "pain thermometer" in Sapira's Art and Science of Bedside Diagnosis. I can't find the exact quote, but this matches what he suggested:quote:I am aware of only one attempt to overcome these difficulties. In 1974, Sternbach described a so-called "pain thermometer" that he would use to quantify a patient's pain.[2] After asking a patient to describe their pain on a scale of 1-10, he would then inflate a blood pressure cuff over the arm such that it becomes ischemic, starting a stopwatch at the same time. The patient is instructed to report when the intensity of pain in their arm matches their current pain. The time elapsed up to this point is the numerator. The cuff is kept inflated over the patient's arm until either the patient rips it off or demands that it be removed. The time elapsed until that happens is taken to be the denominator. The ratio of the two time periods can then be compared with the patient's self-reported pain (out of 10), thus allowing some validation of the patient's subjective assessment. Most people should report excruciating pain within a minute, although he does describe one woman with an incredibly high pain tolerance lasting for 5 minutes before they took the cuff off out of concern.
