    Hooch,


    That is my FAVORTIE pain scale. Found it (and that very funny blog) a few years ago and thought to myself,

    "Yep. That seems about right." Too painful for numbers....love it.
    43 yr. old female with 11 and 13 year old kids.
    10+ years of chronic back pain (Severe R/L leg pain for past year)
    DDD at L3L4, L4L5, L5S1
    Herniations, foraminal stenosis and facet hypertrophy at all 3 levels
    Type II modic changes at L5S1
    Conservative measures not helpful (medication, NSAIDs, injections, PT, massage, chiro, lifestyle and ergonomic modifications)
    Microdiscectomy/Laminotomy (L5S1) 12/10 - Reherniated 6 weeks later.
    2-level fusion (ALIF) (L4-L5, L5-S1) 6/29/11

    Hooch,

    I had to wait until I stopped laughing in order to type . That should be the universal pain scale, makes much more sense than the one we have to use...
