In my pathology/pharmacology class we are currently studying the concept of pain. I need to get information from 3 people about any pain they experience in their life (each one is supposed to be different, so not all headaches or backaches).
If you can take the time to help, all you need to do is reply with the answers to the questions below. It's anonymous, so I don't need any of your biographical information.
Thanks! I really appreciate anyone who replies!
1) Describe the pain. What does it feel like? Below are some common descriptors:
Aching
Burning
Crawling
Crushing
Heaviness
Icy coldness
Intermittent
Numbing
Piercing
Pounding
Pressure
Sharp
Shooting
Sore
Stabbing
Tearing
Tenderness
Throbbing
Tightness
Tingling
2) When did you first experience the pain?
3) Where, as specifically as possible, is the pain?
4) When you experience the pain, how long does it last?
5) On a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain of your life, what is the severity of the pain?
6) Is there any pattern to the pain? For example, does it radiate out? Is it constant or intermittent? Does it occur cyclically?
7) Is there anything that makes the pain worse (aggravates it)?
8) Is there anything that provides you relief from the pain (alleviates it)?
9) How are you attempting to deal with the pain and how affective is what you are doing?
10) Have you sought medical attention for your pain? Do you have a formal diagnosis? If so, what is it?
If you can take the time to help, all you need to do is reply with the answers to the questions below. It's anonymous, so I don't need any of your biographical information.
