Free Printable Chronic Pain Log (PDF)

This is a free, one-page printable chronic pain log in PDF format. Each row is one day: pain severity (0–10), primary location, pain type (aching, burning, stabbing, throbbing), duration, aggravating factors, relieving factors, and how pain affected your ability to function. For any chronic pain condition — neuropathy, fibromyalgia, arthritis, back pain, CRPS — a daily written log reveals patterns that appointment-based recall cannot. Not medical advice.
Download the PDF — free No sign-up. No email. Print and go.

How to use this sheet

  1. Print the PDF — one page covers about three weeks of daily entries.
  2. Each day, rate your overall pain severity from 0–10, even on good days. A zero is valuable data.
  3. Note the primary location and pain type — these often change and the change is clinically meaningful.
  4. Record anything that seemed to make pain worse: activity, weather, poor sleep, stress, or certain movements.
  5. Note what helped: rest, heat, ice, medication, physical therapy. In the final column, briefly rate how pain limited your function.

Questions

Is this log really free?

Yes. The PDF is free to download and print — no sign-up, no email.

Should I log every day even when pain is low?

Yes — and especially on good days. Low-pain days often share identifiable factors (good sleep, reduced stress, certain activities avoided) that are as clinically valuable as the high-pain days. A complete log is far more informative than one that only records bad days.

Can I use this for fibromyalgia, CRPS, or back pain?

This sheet is designed to be condition-agnostic — it tracks the dimensions of pain that are relevant across conditions. The location, type, and aggravating-factor columns can be adapted with whatever terminology is relevant to your diagnosis.

Is there an app version?

Yes — NerveLog for iPhone tracks neuropathy symptoms, pain levels, and factors and shows patterns over time. Core is free, no account needed, and your data stays on your device.

Want the log to analyze itself?

NerveLog for iPhone tracks the same things in seconds and shows you the patterns — free core, no account, and everything stays on your device.
