Chronic pain diary template

A row of pain scores tells you some days were worse. This diary records what else was true on those days, so the numbers have something to sit next to when you read them back.

It follows the pain diary guide, including the advice to anchor your scale once and rate the same thing every day.

How to use it

  1. Print one page per week.
  2. Choose whether you rate the day as a whole or a fixed moment, and keep to it.
  3. Write your location in a few words, or shade the body outline if you print one.
  4. Record medication only when something differed from usual.
  5. Read a month back before an appointment: direction first, then the worst stretch, then what sat beside it.

This template is for recording, not for diagnosis or treatment decisions. Bring it to your clinician; do not change medication on the basis of what it shows.

The same structure, without the paper

HAVYT’s daily check-in records the columns above — stiffness, pain by region, fatigue, sleep, flare, medication, activity — in under a minute, charts them over time, and turns any period into a report for an appointment. Free to start on iPhone.
