hi
sorry to hear about the pain you are goin through, besides medication i would like to give you some tips
take luke warm water mixed with pinch of turmeric,twice daily (morn eve)
yoga helps drastically
indlge yourself in light indoor and outdoor activities
avoid stress and tension, which always aggrevates your problem
try to learn some relaxation technoques from a physiotherapist.
all above together will surely help you a lot!!
take care
