Chronic pain is becoming more common in the United States
Americans are in chronic pain, and a comprehensive new study exploring trends in this major public health concern reveals that what has been a long-standing and under-acknowledged problem is getting substantially worse.
The findings, published in the latest issue of the journal
Demography, suggest blanket increases across multiple measures, with pain rising in every adult age group, in every demographic group, and at every site of pain for which data exists.
People today are experiencing more pain than individuals of the same age in earlier decades. In fact, each subsequent birth group is in greater pain than the one that came before it.

“We looked at the data from every available perspective including age, gender, race, ethnicity, education, and income, but the results were always the same: There was an increase in pain no matter how we classified the population,” says coauthor Hanna Grol-Prokopczyk, associate professor of sociology in the University at Buffalo.

Experts help New Mexicans with greatest foe: pollen
You know the pollen count is elevated and allergy season is here if you have itchy eyes, a red, swollen nose that’s runny with clear fluid or itchiness in the nose, throat, ears and mouth.
Allergy season usually begins in February in the Albuquerque area and sticks around through May or June, says Dr. Mark Schuyler, an allergist for The University of New Mexico Hospital and a professor in the Department of Internal Medicine.
According to the 2018 National Health Interview Survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 19.2 million adults suffered from hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, during a 12-month period. People with asthma have to take extra care during allergy season.
