Grammar
So
We are all likely to experience pain during our lives and particularly so when we are unwell or in hospital.
I saw the above in one of the leaflets by the NHS for pain.
Pleas explain the grammatical form, function and meaning of "so" in "so when..."

You're confusing it slightly - the construction is 'particularly so' rather than 'so when'. You could leave out 'so', but it is referring to the experiencing of pain.
