On a scale from 1-10, how's your pain?

1. I like that chart, I think I will print it out and give it to my doctor.

I had knee surgery when I was 30 after months of complaining about horrible pain. When the doctor looked inside, he said it was a mess and I should have had surgery a long time before but he didn't think it was that bad because I didn't complain enough. I guess I was supposed to be n tears all the time. I told him it hurt when I stood, sitting down, not so bad. He came in, I was sitting down, he left I was sitting down, he never saw me walking. He had been recommended to me, but he stunk as a doctor. I find a lot of doctors don't rate pain properly, but this is a great chart.
Thank you.
