I think pain is subjective only to the person who is experiencing it. It would be nice if the same pain could be put into people, so these scales would be an effective barometer of measuring pain.

I have had pain in my teeth where the most nerves are, to be a tolerant pain whereas some people who not be able to tolerate. On a scale of 1 to 10, it was a 15.

I remember once being tretaed for a pain in my hip that was excrutiating as the doctor was unsympathic and it went on for nine months until he prescribed a medicine that did work. On a scale of 1 to 10, it was a 25.

All I know is the person who is experiencing the pain is the one who has the best barometer to how much it hurts. These scales the doctors give you is a joke in my opinion.

It is an interesting question as one person rating is a 5 may be another persons 10.
