A new pain scale (funny post!)

Saw this on one of the Facebook groups I’m in. I’ve always been an art fan and like things that allow me to have a sense of humour about how I’m feeling.

Where are we all at at the moment? Last night I was definitely a Picasso… today I’m maybe a Durer or Van Gogh…

I definitely think something is missing without Caravaggio though 🤔😂

could maybe do with a few misty looking turners or monets for when I'm feeling vague

I'm Durer today.

I think I could do with a range of Jackson Pollocks for when the "Broccoli Smoothie Brigade" come and tell me that I'll be cured if I drink green stuff!👍😂

Funniest thing I’ve seen in a while! With Caravaggio I think we’d feel as if it’s all over …

I alternate between Picasso, Rembrandt and Whistler!

Whistler..Da Vinci.. Rembrandt mainly!! 😹I've had many Dali days!! Imagine if you're in hospital n the nurse asks your level of pain n u say..."Dali...I'm a Dali!!"😹

Thanks for this TeaandToast..great fun 😃🌈😽😽xx

Lol they would probably have a meaningful word in the consultant’s ear about bringing psychology team in to assess you or testing you for a rip roaring UTI if you described your pain as a Dali! 😹

Love this! Maybe if we used this with our doctors, we would at least get their attention for a few seconds wondering what we are talking about. or we ask them to replace the surveys they give us on a scale of 1 - 10. I hate those. This makes sense to me.

Healing hugs.

Glad people like it! I really believe in having a sense of humour about myself so this is helpful!I use the pain scale of 1-10 in my line of work and it’s absolutely useless as pain is so relative to other factors.

Love the idea about being treated for a raging UTI. We’d be cannulating and mixing at the speed of light!
