Yes, I tend to do them together. It can be especially beneficial if our pain thoughts lead us to catastrophise about the future (which yours sound like they do). This experience is especially vivid for me during the few panic attacks I have had in the past. It's astonishing how overwhelming the fear is in those moments yet amazing how quickly the whole thing passes once I started the internal soothing talk. Doing the same thing with pain is a less intense experience (thankfully) but still very effective.
