I love this.
A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.

When your pain needs context.
Post by spoonie-living Dec 25, 2018 Add "distress" to your pain scale Pain scale? More like pain in the booty. No two people seem to read it the same way, and chronic folks tend to downplay their pain. So here's an idea: when asked to rate your pain, provide a number to rate your distress levels in addition to your pain levels. Some examples: "I'm at a 5 on the pain scale, but my distress is basically a 1 because this is my usual." "I'm at a 3 on the pain scale, but my distress is a 7 because this is new pain and affects a part of my body that's very important to my work." It's a great way to consider how your pain is impacting you-and to get a doctor's attention where it's actually needed. Response from adizzycollegekid OP is a genius 60,825 notes

I feel like I should start with some sort of banging post that hits all the pain science and OT buttons.

But honestly, to all of you out there living with chronic pain, you are seen and you are heard. ❤️‍🩹🫶
