Nearly one in three Americans feel in constant pain

 Study Finds -  Pain can come in many forms, but a new poll has arrived at one unsettling conclusion: Nearly a third of Americans are in a constant state of pain. Three in 10 Americans say they haven’t had a pain-free day in more than a month, with 28 percent adding they feel some kind of pain every single day. The survey of 2,000 Americans also revealed that nearly half of respondents suffer from chronic pain – whether diagnosed or not. Over a quarter (26%) who deal with chronic pain have dealt with it for 13 years or longer. Conducted by Talker Research and commissioned by Ancestral Supplements, the survey discovered that the average American started to feel aches and pains at age 37. The most common pains that pop up are in the legs (39%), neck (29%), and shoulders (29%). However, other respondents noted that their back was their biggest issue each day.  On average, on days when Americans wake up in pain, it takes them seven minutes longer to get ready in the morning... When asked what frustrates them the most about living with chronic pain, Americans say their biggest frustrations include not feeling 100 percent like themselves (43%), being more tired than they used to be (30%), pain causing constant sleep disruptions (28%), and having to give up certain activities they love (27%).
