Income and social status

• Because it is a private clinic they are paying out of pocket. This could put a stress on their financial situation and therefore should be taken into account. 

Employment and working conditions

• Since they are unable to walk it could affect their job status. If they are not able to do their job while injured this could result in modified hours or having to take time off. 

Social supports and coping skills

• Having pain for over 2 months is a long time. They could be feeling anxious and depressed about not being able to live their daily life as they have been living. It is important to consider and be empathetic to their situation and be as kind and understanding as possible.
