Dr Coco & The Ridiculous Pain Chart!

If I can put in words...

What these painful trigger points feel, If I can make you understand beyond description of science that lack emotions

To me these trigger points on my scalp are unimaginable, if someone pulls your hair from the centre of your scalp to lift your body through that point, then what would be your description of pain & not just for one, two or three days but for weeks on end, leading to inflamed nerves within your eyes& even a gentle touch-burns. As a wave sweeps sinking through your every cell & pores on your skin pixilate. You can’t talk, for energy needed to survive, would otherwise be wasted. Prima-facia nothing seems to have changed yet within you’re braving each second through this untold, delibilating & sinking pain.

Those who’ve lived through invisible Pain, will be aware of the pain scale chart, showing a face with a smiley where zero means no pain, 0-2 discomforting, 2-4 distressing, 4-6 intense, 6-8 utterly horrible, 8-10 unimaginable, unspeakable. I use to find this chart amusing & once when I pointed the level to 10 the doctor stated it can’t be as otherwise I’d be groaning. But pain leaves you quiet for you’re sinking That was prior to Dr Coco entering my life in 2009. Coco over the years has developed this understanding of pain that science is unable to, I don’t think coco would ever need a pain chart to know how I’m sinking. When I am unable to breathe & sink, he will not leave my side till I regain as he helps me pass the storm. He cries so as to stop me from crying. He knows all my trigger points when they flare & doesn’t need a chart as he’s One with me through it all. But if given the choice, I’d sure like the medical explanation to be changed effective & immediately, so that a life is not reduced to a mere chart to describe how pain makes you sink. Where humans only judge, to dogs your silence speaks!
