On many occasions of late I've had health professionals ask me to gauge my level of pain from 1 to 10, 10 being worst. I've been at 1 or 2, sometimes 0, most times. The worst it got with the post-surgical hips was maybe a 5. When they ask me about level of pain, I always think of past toothaches and place them at 9. I'm reserving 10 for something I've yet to encounter.
The worst I've felt recently is a 7, and that had no persistence, was just momentary, and repetitive, coming only when I swallowed -- the aftermath of having accidentally poisoned myself.

I'm nobody's pony.
