Ugh! <br />The lack of understanding is spectular. I say it hurts and they say on the scale of 1-10 how bad is it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-71032452287391845612013-08-07T05:33:31.881-04:002013-08-07T05:33:31.881-04:00I flailed about (some of it literally) for half an...I flailed about (some of it literally) for half an hour at the physiotherapist's trying to put a number on her scale for my back pain. She got the facial-expressions thing for me, with a big smile, "this might be helpful". NO IT ISN'T. When I've already said I can't quantify it don't ask me to quantify it <i>on a scale that also needs me to translate it into pictures</i>. I made it 7, tentatively, reasoning that anything below 5 would be negligible and even 6 would be too bearable to go to the physio for, but I'm wondering to this day whether it was anywhere near the right value.Irinahttp://valdyas.org/fo3noreply@blogger.com
