Struggling with Pain: Need Comfortable Sitting/Laying Tips

I typically sit in a recliner or lay on the couch. Thankfully I have an adjustable bed to sleep on. I'm on a combination of meds that keeps my pain around a 5 or 6.

I usually lay on my stomach to help get some deep pressure in my torso and change the pressure on my legs. When I can't do that, I use a weighted blanket on my chest or legs (sometimes all over) and try to be on my side. If I have to sit, I keep my limbs kind of tucked in and prefer having the blanket on my shoulders. Microwavable heat packs can give some of that pressure in a more specific spot. I've packs go wherever the pain is worst, usually a joint in my case. Joint braces also give that pressure and can sometimes keep ice in place.
