Junk mail

Just a warning to everyone. If you make an account with this app, you will be inundated with spam. I’ve never signed up for something that has put me on so many mailing lists. I know this app was the cause because I very rarely get junk mail. But within days of signing up for this, the spam came pouring in. So, make an account at your own risk.

Excellent App

Must Have

Great App So Far

Lots of educational
Info available! Needed a way to begin to log and track my pain and determine what makes things worse …and to learn how to make coping with chronic pain a bit easier. Lots of ways to detail one’s pain seem to be available on this app.

Best Pain Tracking App - Hands Down!

I’ve been using this for years. The ability to pinpoint locations and type of pain, integration with weather, and reports are very informative. I’ve tried other apps and non come close to how wonderful this app is! If I had anything to add, I’d say allowing integration with MyFitnessPal would make it perfection. That way you wouldn’t have to log food separately.

A lot of redundant info for me

It’s too much to navigate if you only want to track pain levels. The notifications come but won’t lead you to where you need to write. Overall didn’t fit my needs of pain level tracking.

Doing a restart!

Couldn’t recall how this app really was set up. After I had to restart my phone because it froze on me, many of my apps were reset and auto-passwords were deleted. Tried usia different pain app today that records intensity and supposition about how the next days pain will impact me but the visual placement of pain is mainly centered _ I love that that you can do left and right sides, front & back as well as quality of pain on PainScale. I also like that you can add meds & triggers & symptoms. I’ll put forth effort into making a decent comparison of some of the pain apps- I am able to log many symptoms as present or not or the exact day or time frame, but iPhone wants exact times for taking all medication & I am not up to ‘exact,’ and at the level of ‘taken or not taken’ with an addition of reason- maybe I can set one up on the iPhone like as a symptom.

I also like the education piece.

Absolutely Phenomenal!!!

Best app I have found so far for my chronic pain management!!!

Thank you

Perfect for helping sort pains to report to doctors.

Room for small improvements

I’ve been using PainScale for just over 2 weeks now and it has made keeping track of my pain and triggers so much easier. There’s so many ways the app can be personalized and lots of good resources as well! Like someone else said I wish just the wrists could be selected and that there was an upper and lower back section as well as separate hips. There are a few minor things that I think are a little unclear but overall this a fantastic app!

A Fantastic & Helpful Pain App

PainScale is so user friendly that even when my brain fog is so thick I can still navigate this app. That I can track my pain levels and the locations and severity of the pain in that area is amazing. More amazing I can forward information to my medical team or even just print it off and take it with me.
Best pain tracking app available.

Works great

App works great. I love having the ability to write down my symptoms and the things I tried to do to address my health.

Some items not saving

No matter how many times I enter the body parts affected and save it, this does not save to the results.

It states No Body Parts Selected.

I need this to save for medical communications with my doctor.

Great app, one suggestion:

I absolutely love painscale, its been really helpful with tracking my chronic pain flareups, however in the pain logs on the body section where you select the locations of your pain, I wish selecting the wrist itself was an option, rather than only having the arm or hand. Other than that small suggestion I absolutely adore this app and it has made tracking my pain so much easier.

Weather tracking not working

Other than the weather tracking it is good, but that was the main reason I downloaded the app.

Great but it stopped working

It's working again! Hooray! Now to backfill my pain logs.

I have been using this daily for over two years but suddenly I can't add my pain scale or see my previous entries or even read any of the articles about managing pain.

Unable to use

Can’t even sign up.

Wonderful app until this past Friday

I have used this app for the last few years and since Friday, I cannot log anything nor can I now log in after trying to log out to see if that helps. I depend on this app to update my doctors….. Please fix or I’ll have to start another app.

App is not working!

Initially, I loved this site and being able to safely track my pain levels and symptoms. Though, for the past few days, Pain Scale has not been working. When I go to track or to read information, the page is blank and unable to do anything. When I click on articles to read from the emails I receive or when I tried to reach out to app support, a message pops up saying that the connection is not safe and that this site might be trying to steal personal and financial information! What is going on??
