Welcome to Your Pain Experience Tracker

This tool is designed to help you track your pain experience holistically. It goes beyond traditional pain scores by allowing you to monitor your physical wellbeing, productivity, emotional dimensions, sleep quality, energy levels, and social engagement. Use this tool to visualize trends, set personal goals, and communicate your progress with your healthcare team. Your journey is personal, and every data point is a step toward understanding and managing your pain better.

How to Interpret Your Graphs

• Identify the Axes: The x-axis represents time (days, weeks, etc.), while the y-axis displays the values for each metric. Notice that different charts may have separate y-axes and color coding.
• Understand Superimposed Data: The dashed pain score line is overlaid on each chart to let you compare trends between your pain level and other metrics like physical wellbeing, sleep quality, or emotional state.
• Look for Patterns and Trends: Identify if a metric is generally increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable over time.Spot high and low points, and consider what external factors (like treatment changes, lifestyle events, etc.) might explain them. Observe if changes in one metric tend to occur simultaneously with changes in the pain score, suggesting a possible relationship that might be worth exploring further.
• Contextual Interpretation: Use these graphs as guides to understand trends and potential triggers. See how different aspects of wellbeing interact. For instance, a decline in sleep quality might coincide with an increase in pain, suggesting a potential area for further investigation or lifestyle adjustments.
• Data Quality and Consistency: Consistent tracking provides a clearer picture. Regular entries make trends more reliable, while outliers may need extra context.
