It is possible that physical trauma which can be termed a stressor initially contributed to your foot pain, I am sure you have already discussed the causes of your foot pain with your doctor. You may now want to be alert to the possibility that the pain from your injury may be a stressor that can increase your stress response and even your pain. To minimize the negative affects of your pain being a stressor, you want to take good care of yourself while your foot is healing and we would recommend practicing relaxation techniques which can raise your pain threshold and help you reduce your stress response
