When it comes to pain, I don't know how to answer.
"Where does it hurt?" chronicillnesscat" I don’t understand the question."
The question I can't answer is "what's your pain level?"
Where?
You want the pain level for my PHN? My legs? That nagging thing in my shoulder? How about my jaw? Or should I just average it out over my whole body?
It'd be easier if the nurse just handed me a diagram of my body and some crayons so I could color-code and maybe draw some lightning bolts and frowny faces over the spots where it really hurts.
