When doctors ask you to rate your pain from 1 to 10, how accurate can your answer be if you’ve never experienced something extreme, like childbirth? Does that really help the doctor understand your pain?

I tend to go 1-5 if I can actually say a number without saying something like 'GFFFOOOOFFFTTTTTTTTTTT.......FUUUUUCCCCKKKKKK'. If I do say that then its going to be in the top half, especially if I swear.
