Thank you my friend, I totally understand where you're coming from there, I've had the same thing too. Have you tried using heat packs or those wheat sacks you heat up in the microwave? They both help me when I'm in pain, so does using those sprays that warm the skin too, or a hot bath/shower when it's easing off when the painkillers kick in? Not sitting or standing for too long can help too, I know it sounds insane, but walking can help even when it's really painful, you seize up completely if you can't stay mobile.
I hope you start feeling better soon too, there's nothing worse than being in chronic pain.
