Manage My Pain 12+

Excellent Tool & Best Customer Service!

I’ve been using this app for about 6 months to keep a headache journal for my doctor. It took me some trial & error at first to figure things out, but quickly learned how easy it was to customize the locations, triggers, symptoms, medications to fit your needs and provide detailed pain records. I like the notes section to add more information, as well as the ability to filter exactly the information you want to be included/ excluded for a pain report. Most impressive however is this apps customer service team - Wow! When I realized a medication wasn’t listed, I sent a message & got an immediate response with the medication added. When I discovered a couple glitches with the filters, I sent a message & got a response from Dylan and the issues were fixed. When I needed help figuring out how to generate a report, Dylan again responded quickly & helped me resolve my issue. By far, MMP is not only a great app for tracking symptoms and generating reports, but they have the BEST customer service!! 😊

Very informative and comprehensive!

Very helpful and comprehensive app!!

I do have 2 suggestions though- it would be very helpful and allow for more accuracy in tracking pain symptoms, aggravating factors etc. to add a .5 option to the pain scale, i.e. being able to enter in my pain is at a 6.5 or 7.5 instead of having to choose between a 6 or 7 etc.

Also, adding Pelvic and Ovarian pain icons/options to the list of body parts where it hurts could help women and other people with Ovaries get more specific in tracking gynecological based pain. I am aware we can create custom icons but given how many people experience a variety of gynecological problems/chronic issues (i.e. Endometriosis, PCOS, Ovarian Cancer), it would feel more gender and body inclusive if these options already existed in the body section/where it hurts part of the app when you first download it.

That being said, I am extremely impressed with this app!! It’s very thorough, thoughtful and clearly created with alot of care and attention ❤️.
I’ve put off logging my symptoms on a daily basis for years because it honestly just felt too overwhelming and frankly, a bit depressing. This app’s cute icons, clean design and user friendly format makes tracking my symptoms easy and even a bit of fun. It’s also very interesting and informative to see the percentages in various charts and graphs over time!

Amazing

I have already recommended this app to several people I love and I have only been using it a couple days so far. It is helping me to track all of my issues to give a more complete view to my doctors and hopefully get a more accurate diagnosis. I love how customizable it is. If a Med you take isn’t listed you can send an email and they have it added within minutes. If a feeling isn’t listed you just tap add and can write it in. It tracks so many things for you like type of pain, what helped, what didn’t help, what made worse, where you were when the pain started, accomplishments each day even if they are small like got out of bed on your own or took a shower. To some those are huge. It really helps to look back at things and see what helps most often. I have been filling it in when I’m pain and checking the list of things I could do to improve it and then edit when the pain has gone down to finish the entry. When you really hurt it can be hard to remember things that you can do to help ease the pain.
