Pain is very good at making you feel down or anxious. It can make us  interact less with friends & family as well as limiting our day to day activities. It can sap motivation, energy and enthusiasm, making it harder to do the things which are good for us. 

This leads to stress which can make the experience of pain worse. Caring for your physical and mental health, connecting with others and managing stress should not be underestimated when it comes to your recovery.

If you are particularly concerned about your mental health, we like to remind the people of Sheffield about the self-referral service called Sheffield Talking Therapies. The website has self-help advice but also a self-referral option. Alternatively, you can call them on 0114 2264380. Also consider speaking to your GP. 

There is also advice for what to do if you are in a crisis.
