Pain is a complicated topic. It’s not as clear cut as “this is sore and now its better”. External factors often influence the amount of pain, and type of pain we experience. These factors can include, but are not limited to:
- Work Stress
- Lack of sleep
- Poor Nutrition
- Hormone changes
- Anxiety
Each of these factors can sensitise our body and exacerbate our perceived pain levels. We would love to hear what external factors you find impact on your level of pain in the comments below!
