I empathise loads - it does hurt soo bad.. I lie on top of a duvet on top of my bed (with a posh pressure matress etc) to try and soften it. Haven't really found anything else - but i have changed my underwear so it doesn't dig in to my hips, after experimenting discovered that girlie boxers are much nicer on hips etc than other types - same with trousers, I found losing the low waist band helped a bit. What else? erm... I try and change positions alot.. sorry I can't add anything - but just wanted to say I understand.. Have you tried lying on a sofa and elevating your legs? that can sometimes help me..

Take care
