How do I get my Rheumatologist to listen ?

Hi @teddyz, I haven't seen one and have always been told it's subjective (0 to 10) with 0 being no pain and 10 being something like hurts like you know what and I just need it to stop right now! I did find a couple of them to help you come up with a number. The second one is easier to relate to - just pick one of the faces.

The neuropathic scale is more along the lines of what I was thinking. It would take more time than the 1-10 scale so I doubt many would move to adopt it. Thanks for sharing!
