Welcome to My Pain Pal!

We're here to help you manage your cancer pain.

Our goal is to work with you and your care team to help you best manage your pain using medications and other strategies.

Managing pain can be challenging and it can take some time to get it right. 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.

My Pain Pal can help you learn the tools to manage opioids and 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.

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, and other symptoms. It lets your care team know how you’re feeling, and it lets the app provide you with the best recommendations.

You can also browse through the resource library for information on opioids, side-effects, activity-pacing, and 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.
