favorite way to describe your pain?

I like to give descriptions of how my pain feels to my fiance, but not in the normal “it burns/aches/stabs”. I like to get descriptive and he doesn’t appreciate my creativity as much as im sure y’all will <3

some of my favorites:

“my head is a blender and my brain is the smoothie”

“someone is sliding a very sharp knife under my kneecap and keeping it there” (works for my shoulders and knees!)

“my lungs are trying to shove their way out of my chest”

“its like im breathing in fire”

“someone is pinching me INSIDE of my hip joint”

“its like a very loud eeeeeeeeeee and it’s all the time” (describing my tinnitus, which is loud as hell ringing)

Editing to add another favorite of mine that’s not about the pain but I say I want someone to take my kneecap off and clean under it and put it back on, or take out my spine and stretch it out like those crinkle tube toys that you compress and stretch apart (idk if that makes sense, my head hurts lol)
