Just found this great little app, WebMD Pain Coach on the iTunes App Store. If you suffer from chronic pain (and have an iPhone), you can use this app to track your pain levels, get information on different pain conditions, tips for coping strategies, set yourself goals and monitor your activities to learn what it is you do that makes you feel better or worse. If you like this type of thing, it could be very helpful in improving/enhancing your coping strategy and if you are receiving regular treatment for pain, it might decrease the severity of your symptoms or increase pain-free days between treatments.
Please note: if you are suffering from chronic pain but have never sought investigation by a healthcare professional, I would not advise using this app until you have gained a diagnosis of the cause of your pain. The majority of aches and pains are not cause for serious concern but persistent pain, especially if it started for no obvious reason and doesn't seem to be getting better over time, can occasionally be a symptom of something more serious, so it is always best to seek the opinion of a professional.

Don't forget South Downs Osteopathy offer 25% off our standard fees to any patients in Brighton and Hove referred by their NHS GP, so do ask your doctor to complete a referral form if you are suffering from pain and would like to receive treatment from an osteopath.
