Here is a short meditation for working compassionately with physical pain. It's based on a practice from 'Mindfulness for health - a practical guide to relieving pain, reducing stress and restoring wellbeing' by Vidyamala Burch and Danny Penman. This book sensitively and experientially explores the field of chronic pain and the suffering of illness, both authors having deep personal experience of physical pain:
'We wrote this book to help you cope with pain, illness and stress in times such as these. It will teach you how to reduce your suffering progressively, so that you can begin living life to the full once again. It may not completely eliminate your suffering, but it will ensure that it no longer dominates your life.' (p 1)
As with all previous practices, this one could be lengthened or shortened, adapted to individual need, and used throughout your day.
