I am lucky that the strongest pain level I experienced was level 5… It was quite extreme I thought so I can’t even imagine what you need to have or have done to get to level 10 (although cancer springs to mind…)
I think it all depends on the type of pain… Actually, I forgot contractions during birth!… Now these would be off the charts… I thought my soul was leaving my body every time… Regarding pain, I read a very interesting article saying that people with brown hair (me!) feel pain the least and the people most affected by pain were red heads. My husband is a red head and he always needs anesthesia to have his teeth cleaned but I never do. For me it feels like being in a spa. I close my eyes and I almost fall asleep. My husband even changed hygienists because it was too much for him… I don’t know about blondes, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they felt pain more acutely.

Interesting. My mother was a flaming redhead and I have a lot of red in my hair (according to my hairdresser who says the pigment means my hair takes a long time when she does highlights). I hade having my teeth cleaned because it is agonisingly painful. You have taught me something today!

I think mine has been about a seven, but I think I have a very low pain threshold. I am a bit of a wimp.
