Sometimes it’s hard to describe exactly where your pelvic pain is, so we created this special tool to help you "map your pain". Pain mapping using colored pencils or markers is a unique way to show your medical team the location of your pain. Simply color in the area where you have pain. You can create your own "key" using different colors. For example; you may use the color red to show the location of severe pain, while you may choose the color orange to indicate moderate pain—it’s up to you, you’re the artist. We've included a sample pain mapping worksheet to show you an example of how to map your pain.
