Chronic pain may lead to more falls among older Americans.
A new study found seniors who reported chronic muscular pain in two or more locations were more likely to take a tumble than those who didn't report
similar pain.
Falls are a leading cause of death among the elderly resulting in more than 19 billion dollars in medical costs each year.
