Your post reminded me of a pain-scale I stumbled-over on the internet one day. You can see it at:
tipna.org/info/documents/ComparativePainScale.htm

The descriptors used in that pain scale appealed to me.
- Pain scoring 10/10 causes you to go unconcious.
- Pain of 1/10 equates to a mosqito bite.
- Somewhere in the middle the pain the causes you difficulty
with doing your job.

So far with PN I guess I am running around 3 to 4. I suppose I should count myself lucky.

Best wishes,
