What do you do to feel better when physically injured?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Several years back, at a restaurant job I had, I was putting up the specials on the big lighted sign outside and I slipped and fell, nailing my back (with all the force of my own considerable weight adding to the impact) on a giant wooden planter. My back's always been bad my whole life, but this incident made it much worse, and back pain is, lamentably, just another part of my day now.
I have found that outlook plays a huge part in how physical injuries heal. A person's body is made up of many different kinds of energies, and those energies interact with the physical world in a complimentary manner. A person's injuries seem to hurt more when they're agitated, angry, frustrated, or sad. Perception gives shape to reality, as evidenced by those who somehow are able to lift a city bus or walk on hot coals barefoot, and perception can be key in overcoming pain, when one has very little else to help heal them.

If the pain is so severe, I'd ask for painkillers from the doctor and sleep. For me, the way to make me cope is by not thinking about it too much. When I over-think something, I tend to become depressed.

I usually imagine myself without any injury, sitting on a beach and relaxing. This helps ease the pain or at very least put me in a better mood.
Sometimes I "enchant" a cup of tea and associate it with pain dampening properties.
(Per a prior conversation about Magic as a psychological tool.)

The other thing I do is play video games, which have been shown to provide chronic pain relief.
