Manage My Pain 12+

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!! 😊

Thanks so much for this incredibly kind review! We pride ourselves on making this app as usable as possible for the chronic pain population, and that includes our exceptional customer service. We hope that you continue to benefit from the app and our customer service team will be continue to be best in-class and ensure to answer any questions you may continue to have with the app

I really like this app and I have used a lot of them in my time. I’ve been logging my pain every day for 2 months now which is the most consistent I’ve been. I like that it prompts me to log function although I wish it looked different because sometimes I accidentally log my pain number instead. By logging both of these I can see the relationship between my pain and function scores.

One thing that I think would be a great improvement is the ability to get a report with pain duration. I experience constant pain so I actually will poke myself in a tender spot and time it, then log the duration. It’s a good way to show how flared up I am. Currently there is a very limited view of duration and I didn’t see it as a field I could get a paid report for (I would definitely pay to get an report of the duration beyond 30 days!)

Thanks for your support - there is actually a graph on the "Summary" or "Insights" page (you can see this in the Results section of the app) that shows a breakdown of pain durations by different categories. Is this what you are looking for? If not, please send us a note at contact@managinglife.com so we can better understand what you're interested in knowing about your pain duration.

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.

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review. We do try to provide as much flexibility to users to allow them to best interpret and control their chronic pain. Was there anything else we could have done to get 5-stars? Please let us know at contact@managinglife.com and we'd be happy to help out
