Track Chronic Pain for Better Treatment
Give your provider the data they need.
Published March 30, 2026
Why pain tracking transforms treatment
Chronic pain is subjective. Your provider relies on your description, which is limited by memory. A structured log with dates, locations, severity, and treatment response gives them objective data to adjust your plan.
What to log for each pain episode
Record:
- Location (specific body area)
- Severity (0 to 10 scale)
- Type (sharp, dull, burning, throbbing)
- Duration
- What triggered it
- What helped (medication, rest, ice, heat)
- Functional impact (could you work? sleep? drive?)

Frequently asked questions
How do I describe pain to my doctor?
Let the data speak. Export your pain log showing frequency, average severity, and functional impact over 30 to 90 days. This is more precise than any verbal description.
