I love pain/sensation descriptors! They're my fave  |
Thank you I needed a laugh!
I tried explaining to my niece what my feet and legs felt like without scaring a 5 year-old. So I told her it felt like when your foot falls asleep and you get the pins and needles feeling. Her response was priceless, "I know so it feels like polka-dots". I couldn't help it I started laughing. Sometimes when I am having a bad pain day I just think of polka-dots and feel a little bit better.
