I dunno what to say.
I shattered my ankle and for 48 hrs, with an ace bandage, ice with Tylenol 3, I put the pain in a box in my head. Then put it in the back of my mind. Not saying it worked, but helped.
It took a lot of energy to keep it at bay. After surgery, they put me on Hydro, which didn't dent it much. Then oxi which did a bit. I went back to my box.
After a month, I came out the other side. I have an addictive personality and sure didn't want to get hooked on oxi. I quickly quit the oxi and went back to my box.
Pain is mental. Not easy, but an idea.
