Comparative & Medical Pain Scale What It Means To You???

Updated

Quick question that will be expanded upon later, Has your doctor or any medical professional ever talked to you about what each number on the 1-10 pain scale represents outside of the smiley faces you'll see posted on walls of the exam room?

Has anyone ever told you that an 8 on that scale is equivalent to natural (no pain meds at all) child birth?

Thanks in advance for your answers and opinions.
