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 😥

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