@aredridel@kolektiva.social The DVPRS and similar versions of the pain scale which focus on the effects the pain is having have been a tremendous boon to communicating more effectively both in healthcare settings and in conversation with friends and family.
This page talks about the DVPRS, how it was created, how it's meant to be used, and so on:

At the end of the article, it also includes the supplemental DVPRS questions page which asks about impact on: activity, sleep, mood and stress.

@Texan_Reverend@kind.social @aredridel@kolektiva.social Holy shit I always add +1 to my number because I know I minimize & am used to chronic but this makes me seem like I should’ve been adding +3-4 😭 10 is always described as worst pain imaginable to me and I’m like well I haven’t done and hopefully will never do birth or awake amputation so I would’ve put “nothing else matters” as my 7 but apparently not 🙃
