Not really. Acetaminophen takes the edge off if/when I'm just sitting around. I take amitriptyline at night (as needed), but I'm not really sure if/that it alleviates the pain (it doesn't do much/anything if I don't go straight to sleep) or just knocks me out. Massage feels good, but doesn't really make anything go away. I can't take NSAIDs; I wish that I could.

I don't know about cannabinoids, as they're not yet legal where I am.

Mild exercise seems to help a little—getting the blood/circulation moving, but too much/too intense exacerbates things.
