Living with severe arthritis pain isn't easy. Chronic pain interferes with the performance of simple daily tasks like dressing, cleaning your home and running errands.  If you live with daily pain, you can become depressed and withdrawn to the point where all there is in your world is pain.

The ArthritisFoundation also suggests alternative methods for dealing with arthritis pain instead of relying only on pain pills.
