This was shared by @appyjumpindaze.bsky.social on Twitter not long before I stoped using Twitter, and it is the #1 thing I need to save off that site.

Table that reads: Pain Scale 0 No Pain Pain free! 2 Minimal Pain is barely noticeable; tightness 3 Mild Feel a low level of pain entering awareness only when my attention is devoted to it 4 Uncomfortable Pain is troubling but can be ignored most of the time; am able to continue activities 5 Moderate Moderate pain but no break in activity or concentration; guarded movement patterns 6 Distracting Pain is troubling and breaks through concentration but is tolerable; activity level changes. 7 Distressing Pain is intense and preoccupies my thinking; can complete tasks but it is difficult and must cease some demanding activities; considering pain medication or other pain reducing agent. 8 Intense Severe pain that makes concentration difficult; can do only non-demanding activities; taking pain medication, etc. Can't carry on a conversation well, pacing, etc. 9 Severe Cannot concentrate on anything else; sweating, unsteady breathing, can do almost nothing. Can barely talk. 10 Immobilizing Excruciating pain, constant; unable to move.

This is so different than how I interpreted the one they showed me when I was having my first go-round with tmj pain. I wonder in retrospect if the fact that what the scale they showed led me to call a 1 and this would call a 4 or maybe 5 would have changed how they treated me. Sigh.

I share this with people so much. It's so much more helpful then the faces or "bear" scale
