I agree with Perna about trying a TENS unit. They can be quite helpful to some people. Personally, simply looking away (right before the change) helps as I tense the muscles. Thankfully, I didn't have to go through too many dressing changes.

But, when I did, my personal attitude was to just get it done. My sharp pain quickly dulled to a throb, which was more bearable for me. I'm pretty against pain medications though. Just my personality.

Hope that you find some relief soon!
