Does anyone else have a pain that used to send them to the ER, but now it’s just like a annoying pain? I said this my mom and she was like “that doesn’t happen” so like it happens right? I’m not alone

Yeah my 2 is probably a normal person’s 6 or 7

yeah this is exactly how it is. my 4 is probably a normal person’s 8-9 tbh

Yeah like I’d go to the ER if I’d thought it would help but since it never does, I just tough it out. Now it doesn’t even occur to me as an option

This is such a toxic, suffering Olympics mindset. It’s your pain scale. So YOUR 1 to YOUR 10. Not compared to anyone else. Is it the worst you’ve ever felt? 10. Not 24. 10. If you think you need to add context, do that. But don’t make up numbers

Fr like why would I go waste all day in the ER and spend a ton of money just for them to go 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Sadly most of the doctors I’ve seen expect you to rate pain like a ‘normal’ person though, not as someone who is in pain every day.
