The common pain scale at your doctor's office uses emojis to indicate pain intensity.
Please volunteer the location and duration of the pain as well. Doctors can only work with what they know.

A pain scale ranging from 0 to 10. Each number is represented by a colored face: green for "No Pain," yellow for "Mild Pain," orange for "Moderate Pain," and red for "Severe Pain" to "Worst Pain Possible." Each face expresses a different level of discomfort, with increasingly sad expressions as the pain level rises.
