Principles of sports medicine
Great knowledge OG. Thanks. I just tossed back a Norco! A frustration I have is quantifying pain level on 1-10 scale. I don’t want to lie but I don’t want to sensationalize either. Maybe a 2nd dysfunction scale would serve me better. With my nerve damage the pain was “5” but my dysfunction was “10”. Speculation in science. I get that medicine is often times an art but for my elbow, shoulder and now back it just came down to I can’t live like this vs pain level. To sell my desire for back surgery I showed the surgeon a picture of me winning a golf tournament 30 months ago and telling him I can no longer walk correctly. I also wrote a three page timeline of my struggle. The pain management doc always worked off the 1-10 pain scale. Thanks again for sharing the insider tips.
