There are many aspects related to an injury beyond the obvious damage done: the initial emotions of shock, pain, and worry, followed by frustration as people often feel that their injuries ‘never seem to heal quickly enough.’

At worst, it may lead to further injury!
However, clearing the above can speed up the healing process.
