THANK you for ‘Becoming a Pain Killer’ during this year’s National Arthritis Week On behalf of Arthritis Research UK and people living with arthritis, I would like to thank everyone who Became a Pain Killer during the week.

Arthritis holds ten million people in the grip of excruciating pain, including myself.

This pain can be invisible and too often dismissed as minor aches and pains.

I’m certain that one day they will find a cure and people with arthritis won’t have to live with this invisible pain. However, the charity’s work will not be possible without the public’s continued support.
