Pain be gone! FED UP WITH POPPING PILLS AT THE FIRST TWINGE OF PAIN? CONSIDER THE MANY ALTERNATIVES THAT ALSO OFFER RELIEF W hile everyone knows what it’s like to feel pain, you may not give much thought to the type of pain you’re experiencing. Short-term, acute pain applies to something like a sprained ankle, while long-term, continuous pain (also known as chronic) covers most back pain. Then there’s the recurrent or intermittent pain that comes with a headache, for instance. Chronic pain lasts more than six months and is one of the most signiﬁcant causes of suffering in the UK. It can affect every part of your life, from your ability to work to your activity levels, relationships and sleep patterns. It can also cause a cycle of pain and distress, so it’s important to understand how to deal with it before it gets worse. Many people are guilty of turning to the medicine cabinet at the ﬁrst ache, but there are manifold ways to relieve your symptoms without a pill in sight. COMMON CAUSES OF DISTRESS Horrifyingly, the majority of adults in the UK have suffered long-term pain. Here are their main culprits HURT ALERT MORE THAN 100 BILLION ASPIRIN TABLETS ARE MANUFACTURED EVERY YEAR 102-103 Pain relief.FINAL.indd 102 Back trouble Almost 10 million Brits suffer pain daily, impacting on their quality of life. Back pain can affect anyone but it’s more common in people aged 35 to 55. Lower back pain will affect seven out of 10 people at some point in their lives. Osteoarthritis A common form of arthritis that can be caused by wear and tear on the joints, it often develops in people aged 40 to 60 and is more common with age. Around 12% of people aged 65 and over are affected. Rheumatoid arthritis An autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints, it affects 1-3% of the population and often starts between the age of 30 and 50. Women are three times more likely to be affected than men. About one in 1,000 children develop arthritis. Headaches While a tension headache (the most common type) affects many people once or twice a month, around 3% of people will have a tension headache almost every day. Migraines are common, affecting about one in four women and one in 12 men. 21/1/13 10:25:09
