Patients will be introduced to the use of a mobile application for their smartphone to record the Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). This app will ask the patients to assess their pain and function two times daily for 2 months. After 1 month and at the end of the 2 months, follow-up visits will be performed and patients will be asked to retrospectively evaluate the pain that they suffered and the level of function they had during the last month.
