When doctors ask you to rate your pain from 1 to 10, how accurate can your answer be if you’ve never experienced something extreme, like childbirth? Does that really help the doctor understand your pain?

Yes, it's impossible to objectify pain, it's always going to be subjective and relative - my 7 does not equal your 7 and wasn't meant to be treated as such, it's just used to establish an individual's baseline to compare to that same person the next hour or day or whatever
