Another Price of Pain: Social Stigma
Pain has a high social cost for the sufferer, too. Because pain is a personal and subjective experience, it can lead to problems with family and co-workers. While you may be in terrible distress, the people around you just can't see or feel what you're going through.
"I think people in pain sometimes get unfairly dismissed by family and co-workers" Robert Bonakdar, MD, tells WebMD, "especially when they don't have an outward sign of suffering, like a cast or a bandage." Bonakdar is the director of integrative pain management at the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine, La Jolla, Calif.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I agree with you. Social stigma is like another layer to the pain. There is physical, spiritual, and emotional pain. I think we are getting more emotional pain because we do not want to show our physical pain. Shame is a powerful tool.
