My kind of pain chart:

1 thru 6

7 thru 12

0: Hi. I am not experiencing any pain at all. I don't know why I'm even here.

1: I am completely unsure whether I am experiencing pain or itching or maybe I just have a bad taste in my mouth.

2: I probably just need a Band Aid.

3: This is distressing. I don't want this to be happening to me at all.

4: My pain is not fucking around.

5: Why is this happening to me??

6: Ow. Okay, my pain is super legit now.

7: I see Jesus coming for me and I'm scared.

8: I am experiencing a disturbing amount of pain. I might actually be dying. Please help.

9: I am almost definitely dying.

10: I am actively being mauled by a bear.

11: Blood is going to explode out of my face at any moment.

Too Serious For Numbers: You probably have ebola. It appears that you may also be suffering from Stigmata and/or pinkeye.

That reminds me of when I had my gall bladder out last year.

I'd been misdiagnosed with panic attacks, and went into the ER after the benzos failed to control the symptoms. The nurse asked for a pain score and I very calmly told her, "Nine. I'd say 10, but there has to be something worse than this. I don't know what it is, but there must be something."

She stared at me, and then told me I looked very calm for someone in that much pain.

"I've had enough valium to stop a seizure. I kind of feels like my diaphragm is being ravaged by an angry bear. I'm very calm about it, but I'd like it to stop."

Which, according to your scale, means I was right on with my pain rating. :D
