Your pain rating goes from 0 to 10 but nothing more than a 4 typically, so a 4 stops you? Though I'm a bad example as I've experienced 8s, 9s and 10s before.
Fall 2003 - One foot of intestine died. Was an automatic 10 for at least an hour before the doctor got to see me. For about 3 hours before it, the pain ramped up from 6 to 10. 10 is your entire existence is nothing but physical pain.
June 2014 - pinched a nerve in my lower spine due to herniated disc. For 9 months I didn't walk much as it would bring incredibely agonizing pain. It would ramp up quickly after 100 to 200 yards I would be an 8 on the pain scale (that's the point where I have to sit down or throw up wherever I am). When they MRIed it, that was hell. Thanks to the way they had to position the legs it turned the pain into a 9. The pain would come with waves like an ocean. As the waves came in my awareness of the outside world would fade completely as the only thing I would perceive would be the pain. Wound up with back surgery to solve the problem. Didn't go away on it's own, physical therapy failed, Steroid injections into spine failed, so it was back surgery.
They should do a nerve conduction test to help trace the problem. If it's a pinched or damaged nerve they should be able to find out where it is exactly with that.
