Kidney stones……I couldn’t even begin to tell you!

“This one goes up to 11”

Oh how I hate being asked that question, the one that goes "how much does it hurt on a scale of 1 to 10?" usually by a doctor.

I feel like saying '11' but I don't, I make a wild guess at 7 or 8 but I'm thinking - childbirth was perhaps a 10 but then trapping my fingers in a car door is a 10 when it happens, but it doesn't last for hours so how do I rate it?

What do you answer?
