    Having just gone through something…I can attest to the fact that when you see no end to the pain, the mental anguish is immense. For some people that means a couple of points.

    For me when asked, I always think “could it be worse?” and having never had my balls trampled by a herd of elephants, or been hanged, drawn and quartered…I could never give a 10.

      While that’s fair, there does exist pain for which you can’t really imagine much worse at that moment. For me those have been kidney stones and a broken femur.
