I had an accident last week and find the Wim Hof breathing tremendously helpful with managing the pain and inflammation.
I highly recommend learning this technique. It's free, you can find plenty of YouTube videos. A "proper session" should take 20 minutes (= until your breath retentions are at least 2 minutes long and you feel the effects).
The cold exposure is also great to experiment with. I find that regular cold exposure, learning to control the gasp reflex and calming yourself down in spite of the feeling of the ice is something very useful to learn and a "skill" that carries over to general pain and stress management.
