2-question mini-survey: pain & fear thereof 

This is totally not scientific, but what is social media for if not satisfying idle curiosity?

On a scale where 0 indicates 'no pain', and 10 is 'about to pass out from pain'...

(a) Where would you mark your typical daily pain score? (A range is also okay.)

(b) Which scale position best represents the point where you start feeling afraid of experiencing that amount of pain? (Regardless of how trivial the cause.)

If you respond to this, thanks!

2-question mini-survey: pain & fear thereof 

@Jssra
a) A typical day starts at 1 at 5am, with little bursts of 3-5 in specific sites as they're stretched in regular active use (right heel tendonitis, right subpatellar arthritis, left hip rusty nailgun(??)). By 3pm most days, hip's fine but foot's a beat-to-stop-hurting 7, forearm extensors are a screaming 7, elbow joints and wrists a dull hot 6. By bedtime, icepacks and rest have it down to 5.

b)'Afraid' doesn't really factor into it? (more)
