Daily pain from sickle cell disease may be far more common - and severe - than previously thought, research suggests.
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers asked 232 sickle cell patients to keep diaries.
The Annals of Internal Medicine study found many experienced daily pain - but many tried to cope with it at home, rather than seeking medical help.
Previous research has assumed that, if patients did not seek help, then they were not in pain.
