I didn't fall. I stepped down a normal step and heard a giant pop and I knew something was wrong and felt it. Any weight at all was the end of the world.

I've legitimately been at a 10 before.
TECHNICALLY everyone has, because a 10 is just "the worst pain you've ever felt in your life.". Which is different for everyone.
But yeah, 10s in the non technical sense do happen. Cancer sucks.

Yeah I mean my 10 was a boil on my leg that legitimately was so painful I didnt sleep a single minute over.a few days. But that's pussy shit in comparison. I would've told a doctor 10/10 at the time

Oh yeah I forgot at my supermarket job our dock plate weighed several hundred pounds and you had to manually pull up from below the floor and flip it into the truck, was on a track. Some dumbass put it in backwards so when it came up it immediately.swung over the top and landed down on my big toe. My entire shoe was filled with blood and I broke that toe. I told everyone to clear the room because I needed a few minutes to talk to god

Don't be afraid to point to 10.
pain is a useful indicator and response, but it physically retards healing.
and yeah, I've had two cases of ten in my life. It exists for sure.
if you think to yourself, "I might die and that might not be the worst thing to happen" you're at ten.

I had surgery to grind off excess bone from the the head of my femur so that it would move better in the hip socket and stop worsening my osteoarthritis. They put in a nerve block during the surgery, and between that, the other medications, and general confusion I forgot to take my opiods. I woke up in the middle of the night literally screaming in agony and had to bite down on my sheets to keep from breaking my teeth. It was a very long 30-45 minutes until the dose I took kicked in sufficiently.
That was probably a 9 compared to dying in a fire.
When they did the other hip, believe you me I set a fucking alarm for the meds.

My worst was definitely when I slipped and dumped a 20 qt pot of boiling pasta on my left thigh. I had gone straight from high school to the restaurant and hadn't bothered changing yet, so It was made worse by me still wearing jeans.
Having to go through debridement every few days for the next several weeks sucked.

Most of the patients who arrive in the ER point to 10. These patients are also on their phone and look comfortable. The pain scale absolutely does not work one bit except for certain cultures -- stoicism -- (Asian) as it is easily exploitable. People just want the D.

That they do. I've spoken to people who claim to be having 11/10 pain but sounded perfectly normal except for maybe a touch of desperation in their voice when they mentioned having something called in for them.
I've only had dilaudid once, when I was in the ER for appendicitis 6 years ago.That was probably #2 all time for pain. Got a chuckle out of the PA when I told him my pain level was about a 9.5, but my scale is logarithmic so there was plenty of room between 9.5 and 10. That stuff works nicely though.
