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: zero-ish.

b: "I would really rather not do that" starts at 4.

6-7 is my level for "the thought of experiencing that pain for more than a short time is sufficient to cause substantial anxiety".

That is also my level for "I actively and immediately demand something to manage the pain because this isn't okay."

FWIW when I was in the hospital the staff thought I was underreporting my number given my affect.
