Two weeks after surgery, your pain is a 5 out of 10. Is that normal? Your discharge papers don't say. Searches turn up best-case timelines next to worst-case horror stories. Published studies have the numbers, but they're hard to find. Steady is a post-surgery recovery tracker. It places your pain next to published recovery data for your procedure and week, and links every figure to the study it came from. THE RECOVERY CALCULATOR β FREE β’ Pick your procedure, enter your surgery date, and tap your current pain level. β’ Steady places your pain next to the published pain band for your week: inside it, above it or below it. β’ It also lays out the usual recovery milestones for your procedure, and where you are against them. WANT TO TRACK IT OVER TIME? STEADY PLUS β’ Check in by voice or text, day by day. Each week, Steady places your recent pain next to the published pain band for that week β instead of a one-off snapshot. β’ The patterns you can't feel day to day: flares getting shorter, what sets you back, milestones as they arrive. Plus your full history and a one-tap summary for your physical therapist. β’ Steady does not diagnose, prescribe, or give medical advice. It shows your pain next to published recovery data, which describes groups of patients in studies, not you. Free to start. Steady Plus: Recovery Pass ($99, 12 months, one payment) or Monthly ($14.99/month, auto-renews until canceled). Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
