Bupa research has laid bare the sorry state of Britain’s knees - with one in four Britons stating they have suffered from knee pain in the last year and 81% of sufferers currently in pain.
A third (34%) of those currently in pain have suffered for over five years, while more than two fifths (42%) of those who have suffered in the last year have opted not to see their GP about the problem; in 30% of cases the reason given for not seeing a GP was the belief that 'nothing can be done' about their condition.
