Level arthritis numbers

Rosieh

Can anyone tell me how many people suffer with symptomatic arthritis in Britain. Are there recordable numbers?

Good afternoon Rosieh

Welcome to the forum on behalf of the moderating team. Please do let us know if you experience any problems using the forum. There are lots of lovely members who will give you are warm welcome and help in any way they can. Do let us know a little bit more about yourself and your own arthritis.

As for statistics; I don’t personally have any, but this article might help you a little:

The NHS report that over 10 million people in the UK have arthritis:

I'm not entirely sure what you want to know but it is thought there are around ten million in the UK who have arthritis, the majority having osteo. It is not a disease reserved for the elderly and it comes in more versions than osteo and rheumatoid. It is a very common condition.
