Do you keep a pain journal?

Pain journals can help both doctor and patient to recognize pain and pain triggers/sources and treat it properly.

There are several types of printable forms that are available online to make keeping a pain journal easy....

here are a few links to sites that discuss pain journals and some links to printable pain worksheets, and some links to the 0-10 pain scales and what each number means-
