Amazing. Pain is clearly amplified by resistance to it. I guess people suffering from long-term pain created a big resistance in them - they "trained" themselves for a long time to resist pain, becoming more sensitive to it, and they should try to "un-train" it.

I have chronic pain for mostly destroying a disc in my back almost two years ago. I've gotten a lot out of Shinzen Young's techniques for chronic pain (as well as mindfulness based stress reduction aka mbsr). MBSR classes are often available cheaply. It is an eight week series.

To practice in accordance with TMI's instructions for stage, I suppose you you ought to use the sensations in your gums as meditation object whenever it becomes too much of a distraction to focus on the breath. However, it sounds a bit grim to work with aversion so intensively; perhaps have a look at some of Shinzen Young's techniques for working with pain in meditation presented in this book:

It's my impression that Shinzen's techniques are particularly well suited for dealing with chronic pain without apparent physiological cause.
