What would be the pain level if the skin on the back of your heel were torn off?


I stuck my heel in the bicycle spokes and tore off the back of my heel & part of the sole of my foot as a baby. I am wondering what the pain & effects of that injury might have been since I don't remember the incident but have always carried the scar.

Pain is relative, so it is difficult to determine.

OMG jeeezzzeee, you are lucky you dont remember something like that. I would think that this type of injury on a scale of 1-10...probably an 8. I think lying there mangled with an imenent chainsaw cut would be like a 10.
