Managing Chronic Pain: How Bad is Your Pain on a Daily Basis?

Because we've had nice weather, I'm slowly getting out of my seasonal depression and have more motivation which has caused my body to feel better than it does in the winter. On a normal day I'd rate my pain at a 6 or 7. On a good day it's a 3 or 4. On a bad day it gets to 8 or 9.

On a good day I’d say closer to a 6/6.5 On an amazing day 4 On my bad days 10+

Haha I hate this question because when it’s chronic pain (in my experience) you just become numb to it. I don’t notice my pain unless it’s really bad. Before I went to a specialist I didn’t realize that the way I felt/feel isn’t normal if that makes sense.. I have never been able to answer these types of questions or the on a scale of 1-10 because it is all so relative and how do I know if the pain im feeling is closer to a 9 or not because where is my pain tolerance at compared to anyone else ya know? No hate towards you or the question- I just always struggle with questions like this

Frequently my pain is at a 10. The lowest my pain has been in the last year is at a 7

I would say on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm at a consistent 4 or higher most of the time.
