Anyone who lives with arthritis knows that pain can be part of daily life. Arthritis hurts. It can stop you doing the things you enjoy like meeting up with friends and even things you might not like but still need to do – such as housework.
Arthritis Care is raising awareness of the impact pain has on people with arthritis. We asked you to tell us how it affects you.
Our survey shows that arthritis-related pain causes significant difficulties for a large number of people and limits their ability to live life as fully as possible or to carry out many everyday activities.
Nearly all respondents, regardless of age, gender, nationality or type of arthritis, said that they lived with at least mild pain every day, with many describing their everyday pain as severe.
