Managing pain takes time, but the more you use this app, the better you'll feel!
Figuring out how to use opioids can be especially tough. It takes time to find the right medication, the right dose, learn when to take them, and learn how to manage their side effects.
The goal is to find a good balance between pain control and side effects...
...so you can focus on what you truly care about.
At the same time, many other things in your life affect your pain in both good and bad ways. It can help to learn about how the many aspects of your cancer experience work together to impact your pain.
My Pain Pal will help you put the pieces together.

How does it work?
Each day, you’ll answer a short survey, which asks about your pain, medication use, mood, sleep, and other symptoms. It lets your care team know how you’re feeling, and gives you advice on how you're doing and things you can do to feel better!
Each day the app will send you education about coping with pain! Each one will take between 2-5 minutes to review. You can also browse through the resource library for more information on opioids, why pain and stress are connected, side-effects, relaxation recordings you can listen to help you sleep, and other helpful ways to manage your pain.
My Pain Pal and your care team work together to help you learn ways to manage your pain better, and live a fuller life.
