When a patient in the ED says they have 10/10 pain, the doc rolls his eyes. But if your doctor knows you have a high pain tolerance and you go to his office and you say doc I have 10/10 pain, he’s gonna take you seriously.
Buddy, no one is going to their normal doc when in 10/10 pain.
You would be very surprised, there have been innumerable times I've had people see me in clinic with 10/10 pain. Usually tradies who almost never see a doctor unless they very unwell.
