Real Pain: Pain is very individual. It can be difficult to describe how you are feeling especially if you are suffering during the office visit. I'm really sorry to hear how bad your pain is. Keep a "pain diary" and show it to him including the times the pain wakes you from sleep & prevents you from doing things. The notes will help your doctor understand how much this is affecting your life. Pls take care
