This is a brilliant website! Have you ever been in so much pain you found it too hard to speak? Dumb question, of course you have, you’re on a PN website. Well the mypainfeelslike.com website includes a pain questionnaire where you can either select from relevant various answers people have entered about their pain or you can enter your own in order to get a printed report that you can take with you to an appointment. It’s a fabulous idea and that’s because it actually communicates modern day pain language, none of this ‘what is your pain on a scale of 1 to 10’ narrow minded business.
