Living with chronic pain means remembering details your doctor needs — right when you're least able to. PainTrail is a private, calm way to log pain, symptoms, and medications as life happens, so you walk into every appointment with the full picture instead of scattered notes and guesswork. PainTrail is a calm, structured place to record pain as life happens. Log where you feel pain, rate the intensity, add context, and include a note only when it helps. Review a dated history by day, week, month, or all time so the details do not have to live in scattered notes—or in memory alone. WHAT YOU CAN RECORD • Pain location and 0–10 intensity • Context such as sleep, stress, activity, weather, and medication taken • Optional notes • Medication name, dose as entered, time, and notes • Questions for an upcoming visit REVIEW YOUR OWN HISTORY See daily entries, simple trends, common locations, and descriptive observations based only on what you entered. PainTrail may flag a logged day whose average pain is at least two points above the selected period's average. This is a descriptive comparison, not a medical assessment. PainTrail does not diagnose causes or recommend care. PREPARE A USER-ENTERED SUMMARY Create a PDF with pain averages and peaks, locations, context, and medication records for the selected date range. Questions saved for an upcoming visit remain in the app and are not included in the PDF. PRIVATE, WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Your records are stored in local app storage.
