The title text further emphasizes that idea: If the pain was higher than ''one'' on his pain scale, it would already be so high that he would be reduced to uncontrollable, unending screaming. It is possible that the title text is implying that any break in the screaming whatsoever-- even to breathe-- would be impossible. If this is the case, then Cueball must be supplying his body with oxygen some other way. If the energy contained within the pain impulses in his nerves was being converted directly into oxygen via mass-energy conversion, then that would mean Cueball would, at just pain level two, be experiencing 1.3*10^19 pain impulses per second. There are only about 7 trillion (7*10^12) nerves in the human body, so Cueball would be experiencing the amount of pain that 1.85 million people would experience if every single nerve ending in their body was firing a pain signal. We here at explainxkcd shiver to think what Cueball could be envisioning.

A similar doctor Ponytail is shown in [[996: Making Things Difficult]] with Megan and again in [[1713: 50 ccs]] along with both Cueball and Megan. In [[647: Scary]] Cueball (as [[Rob]]) also ends up in such a huddled up position.
