This is the most relevant statement because it meets the parameters of stating where the pain is located, the time frame or activity related to the pain level, and provides a comparison for the level of pain. The first example only states the pain level is 8, not 8/10; the third example does not state which leg does not have pain; and the last example is not an appropriate subjective statement.
