Acetaminophen + hydrocodone = relief.

Ibuprofin and rest with the knees up helped. Ultimately surgery was needed.

No opiates...no chance, no way, no how...but a combination of ibuprofin and a heated massage system* helped.
*Heated massage system: lay down, Liz puts one large feline on my lower back, scratches cat behind ears. Cat starts purring loudly.

Actually, even though chiropractic medicine is often over-sold for problems it cannot (and was never intended to) solve, this seems like a situation in which it might actually help.

The good thing about massage is that you're glad you did it even if it doesn't cure anything.

Cat
Chiropractor

Heh, I've got $50.00 credit with the massage place I linked to above. I may go for a full 2 hr session next week.
Oh, and I kid you not, the image Meade used to illustrate the "Masseuse" is not inappropriate.

Yeah, it is. The last one I saw was fatter than me. That wouldn't be so bad, except he was about 5'3" tall. (And damn near that wide.)
The one I used was much easier on the eyes...
And note to self: need to find a new chiropractor.

I had an amazing massage recently performed by an average-looking gentleman who was overweight; if anything, his lack of 'hotness' made me more relaxed and able to focus on nothing but the bliss of the experience.
Must be a men are from Mars, women from Venus kind of thing.
