I am 84 and in same situation ! One year ago I had a burst T-12 fracture from taking Prednisone, and have been in daily pain since, while being a caregiver for my husband with Alzheimer’s. I spend my days doing , then sitting for relief. . I am fortunate to be able to hire a sitter 1 or 2 days a week to allow me to be out with friends, which is important for my sanity! I do not know a pain fix, but you could check local Council on Aging, AARP, and If husband is a veteran check VA , to get help to give you some relief! Hugs and prayers!❤️🙏

Physical therapy, stretches daily, inversion board, ice daily 2o minutes on 20 off , gets me thru my daily I am herniated cervical & lumbar
I do stretches in bed before even getting up.
Lidocaine patches can be purchased OTC or higher strength thru a drs order. I haven’t tried these or Jovi patches. You can get an rx for lidocaine liquid to mix with something as well. Walking helps me as well.
Hope you find relief.
