Summary
Moderate and severe joint pain can make it harder for people to do daily activities and affect their quality of life. Many adults with arthritis have severe pain, and it’s more common in certain racial/ethnic groups. Strategies to help people manage their condition, like interventions to increase physical activity, can reduce joint pain in adults with arthritis.
