LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 6 days agoTry describing the pain using the OPQRST pneumonic.
Onset - what where you doing when it started? Provocation - does anything make it better or worse Quality - what type of pain is it. Stabbing, burning, etc. Radiating - is the pain in one spot, or does it radiate out to other spots. Severity - what’s the 0-10 pain scale Time - How long has this been occuring
As you can see, Severity is just one of the parts of the assessment.
