Unseen, Unequal and Unfair: Chronic Pain in England The findings from Versus Arthritis’s latest report are stark and illustrate the scale of the public health crisis.
Chronic pain (defined as pain which has lasted more than 12 weeks despite treatment or medication) affects around 15.5 million people – a third of the population in England.
Of great concern is that 5.5 million people in England (12% of the population) have high-impact chronic pain, the most disabling form which means a person struggles to take part in daily activities.
