Alternative pain relieving/distracting things?

I am in huge amounts of pain, taken all the meds I can and still it's not touching it. I get my TENS machine on Tuesday but what other things can I do, asides massage, hot/cold compresses, lavender oil, and throwing fruit at exboyfriends ?

    Hey MissRiot, how are you feeling today?

    I noticed this thread was posted pretty late - 11:46 - this might be a ridiculous thing to ask but was just wondering if going to bed would have helped?

    I couldn't sleep! I've had a pretty crap day pain wise, I went to the shops to get some food and ended up having to stop every 50 yards or so. I've been getting myself so frustrated that I can't control the pain or even distract myself!

    Been using my new TENS machine which is a starting point - keep feeling like I need to have more pads on me though. Hopefully I'm starting a pain management course soon which should help a bit. I might google some more ideas
