“Stress and tiredness both have an impact on how the body experiences pain,” says Banwell. “Aches and pains can result from, and some research has shown that chronic pain can be associated with higher levels of stress and an increased level of cortisol.” Interestingly, Keogh also reveals that mood and expectation around pain has an impact, as he explains that “how we feel we ‘should’ respond to pain plays a role. As well as the sensory perception of pain, how we perceive pain is affected by thoughts, feelings and context, for example, expectations and placebo effects.”
A good example of this expectation is the child in a playground who falls over and is totally fine until she sees her mum, and only then does she react to the pain. “Social and cultural factors can impact how we think about pain, how we experience it, and how we express it,” says Keogh.
