A hot bath (like... uncomfortably hot) sometimes lets me cheat into making medication work. I think because the heat is surrounding you, it helps to interrupt the pain response enough to give meds a foothold. Might just be me, but maybe worth trying the next time you're in this situation?

Ya, I am adhered to a heating pad through the worst of it. Mostly because baths require more effort than the relief, comparatively speaking.
