  • Reporting MS pain accurately

    Posted by Benjamin Hofmeister on November 7, 2025 at 4:58 pm

    When a member of your medical team asks you to describe your level of pain on a scale from 1 to 10, what do you say?

    I tend to downplay, if not flat-out forget, any pain that I experience chronically (on a daily basis), and I think most of us who have pain from multiple sclerosis do too.

    Is it like I said above, we just don’t consider something we’re used to. Or is it a fear of not being believed because we’re not reacting to it the way a person experiencing it acutely would?

    Do you tend to downplay chronic pain? What are your reasons?
