Stress and pain are often interconnected. For instance, worrying can literally give you a headache. Sitting too long at the computer can cause muscles to tense up, leading to shoulder and neck pain. 

Ongoing pain or a slow recovery from injury can ramp up your stress level.  As stress and pain become intertwined, chronic pain and stress can become part of your life. By alleviating pain, you also reduce a source of stress.
