If you are looking for over the counter help without actually seeing a pain management specialist who can truly give you the best treatments- try asking your pharmacist-they are very knowledgeable and helpful with many types of pain recommendations!. The best thing is to stay warm-warmth helps a lot-whether warm towels or warm shower or bath-keeping the body parts that hurt the most warm-putting a moist heating pad (the kind designed for this only not a regular heating pad) over the painful area-I have it in my hips back and neck mostly and I often put those heat wraps you can wear over my lower back when going out!. (I forget the exact name of them but they have them for different areas of your body)-Your pharmacist will know what they are!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
