This might sound like woo, but sometimes I'll find a quiet place and just sit there and focus on the pain. I try to really understand the sensation that's being registered as pain by trying to notice all the properties of it (is it throbbing, burning, etc...).
Occasionally I'll find that the more I try to identify specific features of the sensation, the harder it gets to do so and the pain sensation fades away.
I do that too. But at least if you are a meditator on my level, there are limits. I sometimes get migraines and focusing on the pain while you are shivering, sweating and close to throwing up at the same time just doesn’t work for me.
