talking with my PM
I've also described to my PM the amount of movement I can do before pain comes on and what kinds of movement. I've also described pain at rest vs. pain while doing things. The 10 pt scale doesn't really encompass our experiences. Then there are different types of pain. Stabbing, burning, throbbing, excrutiating interupting your thoughts types of pain.
I thought I knew 10 pain but I had to adjust my personal scale immediately after the dynesys was removed. That was the worst pain I'd ever felt for about 2 weeks. I went back to the emergency room 2 times as my heart rate was high and I couldn't sleep. I suppose the pain was pushing my anxiety that something wasn't right.
