The weirdest thing that I experienced in the rehab hospital after giving myself a spiral fracture in my left leg was the constant question of “what is your pain level—rate it from one to ten, one being none and ten being the worst you’ve ever had”.
Okay I’m sitting there with the inside of my leg doing the chicken dance and not in a nice way, I didn’t want to appear a wimp so I said “a five”.
“A five/six meaning moderate or 7-10 meaning severe?” Okay, I pushed the buzzer to call them in because I’m in pain, not to play twenty questions. If it was just when I asked for help I didn’t mind, but every time they were to give me scheduled meds?
All in all I’d say a hospital is not a place to fudge your answer, if you’re in pain, say so.🙄😵💫😩

I think they ask because they’ll medicate you accordingly. 🤗
