If you are a bit of a hypochondriac it's best to look away now - new research has revealed the average Briton suffers 9,672 ailments and injuries in their lifetime.
From headaches to bad backs and tummy bugs, sickly Brits experience 124 incidents of ill health every year.
They can also expect to endure at least three sore throats, four cases of heartburn and four cricked necks every 12 months.

Top 10 ailments in a lifetime
Additionally they will suffer five cuts, five cramps and six upset stomachs meaning they will be in some sort of pain almost once every three days.
The tally emerged following a study of 2,000 people, by the Benenden Healthcare Society.
We can also expect to experience two shaving cuts and three stubbed toes annually, while any complaining will be muted by biting our tongue three times and losing our voice at least once.
As if that wasn't enough we'll also face 78 nosebleeds in our lifetime, trip over 234 times and grimace through 156 bouts of blisters.

We suffer an average 11 headaches every year along with 36 bumps and bruises
We will also face 156 cases of ear ache in a lifetime and 78 eye infections.
More serious sickness will lead to three hospital visits and two surgeries.
One in four Britons described themselves as accident prone with half having banged their head getting out of the car while a quarter have been bitten by a pet or trodden on a plug.Â
Lawrence Christensen from Benenden, said: 'Even without the threat of serious health conditions, the average human body takes an awful battering day-to-day, which demonstrates why life just isn't designed to be easy.
'Whilst it's unnecessary to suddenly develop a hypoc hondriac attitude to life, be sure to visit your GP if you do feel you are experiencing higher-than-average occurrences of ailments such as sore throats, stomach upsets and back pain.'
He advised washing hands regularly, maintaining good posture, eating healthily and exercising to stay fit and well.

What's worse than the amount of ailments (if indeed this research is valid, which I seriously doubt) is that the average Brit wouldn't think twice about pulling a sickie for any one of them.

Who on earth collects all these rubbish stats and who pays them? I suspect they are they just made up like a lot of the DM articles.

95% of surveys have shown that 75% of participants lie 83% of the time. It may be childish but I get a lot of vindictive pleasure out of it.

No mention of broken bones. Before I left school I had broken my nose falling out of a tree and had been stabbed by my brother "play fighting". I went on to break my leg falling off a ladder, broke my cheekbone ice skating and recently was bitten by a dog which put me in hospital. In 2007 I cut the top off my finger with a Stanley knife and in 2009 broke my little finger punching an idiot who had pulled down my jogger bottoms and underpants at Zumba class. An old lady spectator fainted. Everything has healed up nicely except my heart - which was broken by Jennifer Collins when I was twelve.
