Chronic stress and pain often go hand in hand with one another and are known to change the levels of stress hormones and neurochemicals found within your brain and nervous system; these can affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Disrupting your body’s balance of these chemicals can even bring on a deep depression in some people (Mental Health America, 2023).

Chronic pain with a neuropathic component has been shown to be associated with worse quality of life, greater psychological distress, increased interference with sleep, and loss of more workdays than chronic pain without a neuropathic component.

Loss of workdays could come from more than just the pain felt. It could be due to the increased anxiety, fear, etc. associated with the peripheral neuropathic pain.
