I have no concept of the pain scale, like\u2026I just realized that last week I said I was in especially awful hip pain and when my pt asked to rate it I said \u201c3\u201d. And then this week I said I felt a lot better than last week and when she asked me to rate it I said \u201c3\u201d. I really don\u2019t know what the numbers are supposed to be. I know it\u2019s supposed to be out of ten but like. I think I rate the pain by what time of the day it is. Like \u201ci will rate the pain I\u2019m in at a 5 at the end of the day, so compared to what my pain level will be later, what I\u2019m feeling right now is a 3.\u201d I also think i rate in overall pain rather than specific pain? Like, systemically I\u2019m at a five. Some parts will be worse or better but i just rate it all at five because that\u2019s the average
