How do I choose stop frequency?

Choose based on symptom trend, not optimism. If uncertainty increases symptoms, use shorter blocks.

What if we’re behind schedule?

Protect tomorrow by shortening today. Use your stop-early rule.

What if I’m the only driver?

Reduce total drive load, increase stop structure, and pre-select an early exit option.

Road Trips with Chronic Pain: stop rules, seat rules, and a rescue plan

Build a driving-day plan that protects tomorrow—emailed as a one-page plan with clear stop/switch rules.

Planning support only. Medical decisions remain with your clinician.

Generate my one-page plan Day-2 Rescue Plan

Decision thresholds (examples)

If symptoms rise, I stop within the next planned window (not after it).
If driving becomes costly, I switch drivers or shorten the day.
If arrival commitments exist, I protect an arrival buffer before any activities.
