Just skimmed the paper and watched the BBC feature - great work guys. My dad suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis and is in constant pain so it's a topic quite close to home.
I'm a bit of a data nerd so I have a few questions on the analysis:
1- how did you guys account for people's health declining and therefore potentially feeling more pain over time, as well as changes in medication/pain relief?
2 - Did you take into account any fallacies when looking into the results? For example if I were to have a 7 out of 10 pain for a week, and then the following week it increased to an 8 of 10. After a few days this would become my new 7 out of 10 as I would have got used to the increase.
