Odelle, a nice hot shower does help a bit, discovered that by accident but it doesn't make enough of a dent to really help. It does reduce the stiffness in the muscles though so moving is easier.
Glad to know I'm not the only person who had trouble with strong NSAID's, although for me it went beyond discomfort and into hospital
So I can't take them ever again.
Hopefully the doctor will help me out this week. No natural treatment that I have tried even slightly helps. On the days when I'm not in agony I have found a gentle massage helps.
