Well I sure hope there's people other than me who think about this kind of thing. Let me set up the scenario.
You're at your doctor's office for a checkup with normal everyday pain, and the nurse asks how your pain is today. And you have to stop and think for a second because which pain scale do you use? Your own personal one or the standard one? When you have chronic pain, pain is your new normal. And normal would generally qualify as a 0 on your pain scale. Or do you say 4 or 5 which is what a normal person would say when having the same pain as you?
