When I could afford it, I got monthly massages (of a stretching and kneading variety), and that helped. The results weren’t long-lasting, though. Maybe a week? As a poor girl’s substitute, my husband or kids will steadily and firmly pull on my arms and legs, to stretch out the soft tissues. I mean a loooong stretch, too, just short of pulling the limb out of its socket! Immense relief, but short lived. In a similar vein, I stretch my whole body often, using steps and doorways as helpful props.
Keeping warm, especially while sleeping, helps.
I bought a 3 inch memory foam mattress topper, and it’s heavenly. It helps somewhat. Cushy shoes (I wear Crocs Hover) helps some, too.
Light exercise is supposed to help a lot, but I have a very hard time pushing myself to do it when I’m in pain. I’m trying to take up yoga, and my doc recommended walking, too.
All that said, I’d be completely lost without my prescription NSAIDs. I take Diclofenac SOD (75MG, twice daily), and if I didn’t, I would not be able to function at all. I’m aware of the risks associated with it, but have opted for quality of life. I’ve been taking it for years and years, and so far so good. Knock on wood.
