I was in pain and couldn't concentrate on the meditation
This meditation style does not involve concentration. It is not necessary to stay focused on the breath. It doesn't matter if the mind wanders off in thoughts or gets absorbed in the sensation of pain.
Although pain is unpleasant and it's natural to prefer that it is not present, it's important to not resist the feeling of pain. Even with pain, we can be easily aware of the breath.
