The devastating impact of joint pain is laid bare in a new survey<\/h3>\n

Those\u00a0aged 64\u00a0and over\u00a0are more likely to suffer constant joint pain according to a new study commissioned by private health care provider BMI Healthcare.<\/p>\n

The research also found that\u00a0 78 per cent of those surveyed\u00a0aged between 55 and 77 suffered joint pain and 40 per cent of those questioned said they had been living with pain for\u00a010 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cPain makes me moody so I take it out on others\u201d, reported one of the 400 Gransnet members who took part. \u201cEven holding hands with my granddaughters can be painful at times,\u201d and \u201cmy sex life is now non-existent\u201d\u00a0\u00a0were just some of the affects aches and pains had on the lives of 55-74 year olds.<\/p>\n

The study\u00a0has been\u00a0launched ahead\u00a0of\u00a0BMI Healthcare’s\u00a0free new ebook \u2018The Bare Bones Guide to Joint Pain\u2019 <\/a>. The\u00a0guide provides tips and advice on managing joint pain from some of the UK\u2019s leading orthopaedic consultants, along with insight into some of the latest treatment options.<\/p>\n

Former MP and Health Minister, Edwina Currie, who\u00a0wrote an introduction to the guide complained: \u201cMy right knee is swollen and my ankle gets that way too if I don\u2019t give it a lot of TLC. At the not-so-advanced age of 68, I\u2019m beginning to feel like a painful statistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToo often we can fail to take early action on persistent niggles.\u00a0 Waiting till pain is excruciating is miserable and unwise. Don\u2019t put up with that pain: get up, get going, get help.\u201d<\/p>\n

The parts of the body\/\u00a0joints most\u00a0affected by joint pain among those surveyed were: 63% Knees, 48% Hands, 47% Back, 45% Hips, 35% Shoulders, 29% Feet, 22% Ankles, 14% Arms<\/p>\n

\"CoverThe<\/a>BMI Healthcare operates over\u00a060 hospitals and treatment centres across the country offering\u00a0115 different specialties and services. Some 90% of adults in the UK who have private medical insurance live less than an hour from a BMI hospital.<\/em><\/p>\n
