Pain on a scale of 1 to 10....

Today my doctor asked me how my pain was on a scale of one to ten. I stated well if ten is being shot in the hand its like a two. Bit if ten is kicked in the shines then its like 6 or 7 for sure.

I mean really what scale are we using? my pain is also constant so whats worse a spiking now and again 8 - 10 or constant grating 2 - 3 pain all the time?

Need a better scale....
