My problem is I do not experience pain the way most people do.
I tend to automatically drop into meditative state when pain begins.
So if I am speaking softly, my face is in a relaxed mode and smiling and my shoulders have dropped. I have either just come out of a self induced trance state...or I am at 9 or 10 on the pain scale.
I don't scream, I don't groan, I don't cry. I really don't feel it as pain in the same sense, I am just aware, that some part of my body ain't right, I can probably tell you precisely where it ain't right.
But if I am not bleeding, most triage folks just look at me in confusion.
