  • Now let’s talk about pain -The doctors use the common 1-10 pain scale to tell them where your pain is at any given time. My PT’s talk about 3 parts of pain:
  1. 1) intensity of pain, is it a 1 or a 10 ----or somewhere in between
  2.  2) Frequency of flare-ups, Sometimes , all the time or am I in remission?
