Chronic Illness on Yik Yak | I hate how doctors are shocked/never believe you when you rate your pain high on the 1-10 scale just cause “you don’t look like you’re in that much pain” Like, I’ve been in pain my whole life, I’m used to it, am I supposed to fall to the floor or smth??

It’s why the number chart sucks balls. We do have actually decent scales that are less subjective pain felt based but that takes time and effort nobody wants to put forth
