There was, IMO, a very good and highly effective pain relief, Coproxamol (dextropropoxyphene), but it was withdrawn because of fears of overdose by grateful patients.

Moving and gentle stretching, leading to more moving and gentle stretches with the necessary pain killers to enable it, provided you don't get the red flags.
Paracetamol has a surprisingly narrow safety margin.

An adictive opioid found to be no more effective than paracetamol that can cause depression and heart attacks. Good riddance.

A curved-ball, try Bio-dynamic Craniosacral therapy. Google it.
My wife, a therapist of c. 20yrs (now retired) treated a chap who wasn't able to walk at all, bed-bound. After 4yrs of weekly treatments he was able to walk the 100yds down the street to his son's school. After 8yrs he was able to be driven. Still not able to drive but able to walk upstairs ar least.
It's a long slow process but clearly there's something in it.

I tried that and what worked for me was the awareness of muscle movement.
I became aware of my body status and able to listen to it.
To these days my body tells me to stop something or push forward.
I can isolate tense muscles and force the relaxation process (to a certain extent).
I can also fall asleep on command using a technique the therapist thought me.
It's very helpful, but remember, not a substitute for main therapies.
It's either a last resort or something you try when you are better but not 100%.
In any case, it's something that helps you for the rest of your life.

Many years ago. Made me very lethargic...Have you tried Amitriptyline ?
Originally designed as an anti depressant but also blocks nerve pain.
Works great on my back issues, and I'm a little happier
