I welcome this post although I never really thought about it this way. I guess I just endured it. But at the hospital if you've had surgery they are always at you to rate your pain. That is, 1-10. I guess if I were to analyze it I would say that it's always there, maybe sort of "in remission", at a sort of 2-3-4 most of the time. But if something triggers it I want to die. I'd say then it's easily 8-9. So you try to endure.

Good question. Good question.
