In addition to what apple said (stretching/yoga, deep breathing, warm baths), I found massage to be helpful for my pain. I can’t afford a masseuse but I use a massage wand, basically a big vibrator and it is a game changer. It’s too hot for me to take a warm bath, so even just an ice pack on the area for 20 minutes max can be helpful (and cool during the summer). There’s also lidocaine cream/patches, and icy hot, tiger balm, menthol stuff like that for muscle pain. There’s some lemmy communities for dealing with chronic pain and chronic illness too that might have tips.
