Brits suffering a pain epidemic

BRITONS are facing an epidemic of aching joints, with four in ten suffering from chronic pain which affects their ability to sleep, exercise and walk.

A new report by pain medication firm Deep Relief found that 39 per cent of people in the UK suffer from daily bodily aches. The survey of 500 people also revealed that lower back pain was responsible for a third of all complaints, while nearly a fifth were knee issues.

Almost a third of respondents said their pain impacted their sleep, exercise and walking.
