I've seen others say comparing one person's score over time can be useful. So like if you were a 3, but now you are a 5 something has gotten worse.

Also, it can be one aspect of determining if someone needs pain killers apparently.

But it was only after more visual inspection in the ambulance they immediately gave me morphine.

Can relate. When I broke my left wrist, I probably would have described the pain as a 1 at the ER if they had even bothered to ask; instead they just brought painkillers to me (just something like codeine) after seeing it (the x-ray tech was a bit surprised they didn't go with an injection). When I broke my collar bone, I said 2-3 because I was afraid I wouldn't be taken seriously if I said 1-2 at the ER (if I had seen a mirror with my shirt off beforehand, I might have been a less worried about that).
