Study - MOST AMERICANS REPORT BEING IN PAIN

Study: Most Americans Report Being In Pain Doctors Recommend More Research Into Pain Treatment The WMUR Channel October 8, 2003 It's being called an epidemic that is cutting deep into the quality of life for adults across America -- millions of people dealing with recurrent or chronic pain every day. Many Americans Report Constant Pain A poll done by a nonprofit medical and health advocacy organization shows that 57 percent of Americans reported having pain the past year, and 40 percent reported that they are in pain all the time. "It's daily, drop-to-your-knees intense pain," chronic- pain sufferer Beth Bunce said. "You cannot function." The Research American study showed that people ages 18 to 34 were only slightly less likely than older Americans to suffer pain. "This survey should serve as a wakeup call to all Americans -- including elected officials -- that chronic pain is a problem of epidemic proportions in this country," Research American President Mary Woolley said. "The results clearly indicate the taxpayers want more money spent on research." The survey also showed that many believe Americans view pain as a personal weakness instead of a misfortune or disease that can be treated. "There is a widespread misunderstanding about the prevalence and the debilitating effects of pain in America today," Dr. Eliot Cole said. "And it is sad that in a country that is so technologically advanced that we do heart transplants, we still don't have good strategies for the management of pain." The survey shows more than half, 57 percent, would be willing to pay $1 a week to increase funding for research that would help put an end to pain for millions of people. "Your quality of life is totally dependent upon your functionality, and you do not realize that until you cannot function and you have no quality of life," Cole said.

Study: Most Americans Report Being In Pain
Doctors Recommend More Research Into Pain Treatment
The WMUR Channel October 8, 2003
It's being called an epidemic that is cutting deep into the quality of life for adults across
America -- millions of people dealing with recurrent or chronic pain every day.
Many Americans Report Constant Pain
A poll done by a nonprofit medical and health advocacy organization shows that 57 percent of
Americans reported having pain the past year, and 40 percent reported that they are in pain
all the time.
"It's daily, drop-to-your-knees intense pain," chronic- pain sufferer Beth Bunce said. "You cannot
function."
The Research American study showed that people ages 18 to 34 were only slightly less likely than
older Americans to suffer pain.
"This survey should serve as a wakeup call to all Americans -- including elected officials -- that
chronic pain is a problem of epidemic proportions in this country," Research American President Mary
Woolley said. "The results clearly indicate the taxpayers want more money spent on research."
The survey also showed that many believe Americans view pain as a personal weakness instead of a
misfortune or disease that can be treated.
"There is a widespread misunderstanding about the prevalence and the debilitating effects of pain
in America today," Dr. Eliot Cole said. "And it is sad that in a country that is so
technologically advanced that we do heart transplants, we still don't have good strategies for the
management of pain."
The survey shows more than half, 57 percent, would be willing to pay $1 a week to increase funding
for research that would help put an end to pain for millions of people.
"Your quality of life is totally dependent upon your functionality, and you do not realize that
until you cannot function and you have no quality of life," Cole said.

Nonsense. Who is keeping society running if half the population "cannot function"?
I'll grant that Americans are quick to find excuses to ask for prescription narcotics, but that's
not the same thing.

No, they clearly indicate that people will get their recreational drugs by prescription if it's too
risky to buy it on the street.

Dr. JAI..I did NOT see any particular AGE GROUP mentioned...are the "STAT''s" an overall summation
of ALL age groups combined or are they specific to OLDER people for the most part??
There are so many "SOURCES" of pain and each one is usually associated with particular age groups.
PAIN is indeed a LARGE category! B-0b1

"Dr." Jay is not a doctor, unless you consider a piece of mail-order paper proclaiming a "doctorate"
in asstrollogy equivalent to a medical degree. Secondly, Jay's only intention in posting articles
such as this is to malign western society in general, and it's Judeo-Christian foundation in
particular. Jay wouldn't know a sarcoma from a pimple if his worthless life depended on it.

A person does not need to be a doctor to do research of this type. What do you have against this
person that drives you to say his life is worthless?
Or are you just trolling.

It's true that a person does not have to be a doctor to research stuff on the net. Problem is, Jay
_pretends_ to be a doctor, and he doesn't do any research. He just posts stuff that agrees with his
agenda, which has nothing to do with the truth.
Do a search on google.comgrphp with the keywords
"Maharaj christian jesus" and "maharaj islam muslim". Jay Maharaj is a bigoted slimeball sleazebag
worthless piece of [censored]. And thems the facts.
If anyone were to say to a medical doctor the things I say to "Dr." Jay Johnny Stevens Maharaj, they
would be slapped with a libel suit faster than I could click the "X" on my browser window. Jay
doesn't do that because he ain't a doctor, ain't never been one and uses a false name to post on
Usenet. Moreover, he pursues an agenda of malicious misinformation, bigotry and slander.
You can't libel a fictitious character.
