Abstract

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence OA guidelines (2008) recommend that future research should address multisite joint pain as it is more severe and disabling than single site joint pain. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and risk of self-reported consultation with a General Practitioner (GP) or Practice Nurse (PN) for single site and multisite peripheral joint pain.
