Does anyone else hate the pain scale?

Just wondering if I’m the only one! I hate being asked to rate my pain on ten.

Like what’s a ten, really? Being torture to death? I feel like at level 8-9-10 you would be wishing for death. 6-7 seems like it would be childbirth territory (from what I hear). In comparison, everything I’ve experienced in my life would have to be under 6, but I don’t want to sound like it doesn’t hurt when I say my pain level is a 4.

I know, I know. There’s no way around it.

I’m a big fan of the bottom scale: http://cdn.lifeinthefastlane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/UCEM_PainScale.jpg

I approve…
