I always figured 10 was shot up laying in a gutter or an appendectomy without anesthesia. . 9 is childbirth without drugs. So I rate always there, day to day RA pain 4 or 5 and bad flares a 7 or 8. 🙂

We are on the same page. A kidney stone is comparable to childbirth -- so they say. I'm familiar with kidney stone pain.

I'm also familiar with the top 20 list of most painful chronic medical conditions.

I have personal experience with six of these myself. Yes ... they are all a "10" judging from the patients I've cared for.
