Summary: | Fear of movement or re-injury is an unsurprising and rational response to the injury, influencing decisions for return to sport, work, and daily and social activities. The Injury had shattered their lives, with immediate influences on their self-identity and confidence in their body, sleep disturbances adding to stress levels, grief and loss, and some describing bouts of severe depression and social Isolation.
