Peggy,

Thank you for this. Pain patients need to keep a pain diary and

functional assessment also. There are articles that have been saved on

this site that have copies of the pain dairies and functional

assessment. This way the doctor can see what works for the pain, how

long the pain is covered for with what medications. My doctor requires

I keep one and it has helped in my SSI disability application and for

other verifications.

The National Foundation for the Treatment of Pain has an intractable

pain questionnaire that is excellent, the American Pain Foundation has

all these templates and follows legislature laws and bills that pertain

to pain.

It is a good habit to document your pain in a journal or templates

provided on the internet. All you have to do is type in pain dairy.

Dr. Forest Tenent wrote, The intractactable Pain Patients Guide to

Survival, and can be downloaded at

Pain Topics.org This is one of the best resources and this site is

also I have ever encountered. I encourage everyone to download it and

read it. This site also has resources specific to pain patients which

is from all organizations. It includes diaries,flow charts,

information, articles, clinical trials etc. It has everything in one

place.

I have used it often and was reminded of it when you guys mentioned it.

Hope it helps. Bennie.
