Pain — and its effect on sleep, mood, activity.
An M3 Total Score of 33 or higher suggests your symptoms may be affecting your life and should be discussed with your clinician. Today’s total of 29 is below that line; it was 37 twelve weeks ago and 45 twenty-four weeks ago.
Symptom severity ranges: each category below is rated Low, Mild, Moderate, or Severe based on its score. The Functional Impairment Questions (Questions 5 and 24 through 27) address functional status, substance use, and thoughts of suicide. Positive answers to these questions should be followed by additional questions to understand what the person means.
