Standing Strong: National Survey Reveals Pain’s Toll on U.S. Workforce
The survey found 54% of workers lost income from pain and 98% with chronic knee pain would consider a long-lasting non-opioid treatment.
- Pacira BioSciences and Wakefield Research released 'Standing Strong: The Impact of Pain on America's Workforce,' a survey of 1,000 full-time American workers examining how orthopedic pain disrupts income and career advancement.
- Conducted among 1,000 American adults spending much of the day on their feet, the survey found 85% experience pain while working, with 41% reporting this discomfort often or all the time.
- More than half of respondents reported losing income due to pain through missed shifts or unpaid leave, while 46% said pain prevented them from pursuing career advancement opportunities.
- Despite these challenges, many workers continue to suffer in silence; 81% experienced pain without notifying a supervisor, while nearly 90% report pushing through discomfort rather than asking for assistance.
- With 74% of workers reporting knee pain as the most common type, nearly all said they would consider a non-opioid treatment option if it provided meaningful relief.
