I am struggling myself. I've been so stiff for the past couple days, it's ridiculous. I've been using CBD cream, lidocaine patches and cream, and I've had to pull out my Diclofenac ointment as well

I think I'm going to start stretching after my hot shower every night and see if that helps too

Heated blanket and heating pad at night. Lots of NSAIDs. Gloves, coats, lots of layers because the weather here is unpredictable! Also, voltaren cream is a god send but when it wears off, the pain comes back 😥
