Did you know that 0 on the pain scale is supposed to mean, “no pain at all?” And that that is the normal amount of pain to be in?
It’s surprisingly common to underrate the severity of pain we experience! Take a look at the Mankoski Pain Scale, and especially look at the relative effectiveness of pain medication for different levels.
I bring a copy to appointments, and more than one practitioner has made copies to use with patients.

ENG: Observational study on medical #cannabis use for 300 people over 50 proves medical #weed effectiveness. Patients favor high CBD low THC oral dosing ( balanced 1:1), to reduce arthritic/chronic pain and help sleep without having to chain smoke/vape. If CBD dominantes there is almost no psychotropic effect.
ESP: Ciencia moderna confirma que #marijuana medicinal alivia dolor crónico, artrítis y sueño. Estudio con 300 personas de más de 50 años revela que pacientes prefieren gotas o comestibles altos en CBD y bajos en THC. Extracto 1:1 de flor resulta aún más efectivo y evita tener que fumar/vapear para sostener efectos analgésicos/ansiolíticos. De dominar el CBD el efecto psicotropico es nulo o mínimo.

We need NHS Complex Care Centres.
Funny how I got 'addicted' before ever taking gabapentin?
It's almost like... not being in pain is a desirable outcome!
We all deserve Bed and Bread.

Vagus Nerves! Both of them.
Also: can't recommend enough to make a "List" here on mastodon that's just you. Not all my posts show up on my profile and I have no gd clue why.
Not as helpful for older, since you can't search them, but great for "where tf did my toot 3 min ago go?"
