2. Pain QuestionsIn the past 3 months, how often did you have pain? Would you say never, some days, most days or every day?[If at least some days] Thinking about the last time you had pain, how much pain did you have? Would you say a little, a lot, or somewhere in between?
3. Descriptive Follow-up QuestionsPlease tell me which of the following statements, if any, describe your pain.It is constantly present. Sometimes I’m in a lot of pain and sometimes it’s not so bad.Sometimes it is unbearable and excruciating. When I get my mind on other things, I am not aware of the pain. Medication can take my pain away completely. My pain is because of work. My pain is because of exercise.
