I just found this forum tonight. I am a nurse and use the 1-10 scale all the time, and it is very subjective but it works for the individual to say if pain is better, worse or the same as before. I'm wary of some machine measuring my pain, as it only occurs if I move, like breathing, or rolling over in my sleep - Ha. Anyway, I enjoy your post. I'll keep browsing to see if i can find others with pain like mine. Have a good evening.

I believe that the amount of pain that can be endured varies from person to person. Some patients could be seriously incapacitated by what the machine considers a low level of pain. Those poor souls would probably get labeled as drug-seeking wimps. I think the pain experience is highly individual.
