I've found that some things mitigate my localized pain - movement, even in the middle of the night; a massaging seat cover laid flat on the bed (for my hips); and heat. Movement seems to be the most effective, including raising my arms out to my sides several times (like a flying motion), and out in front of me and over my head. I have to push through the pain with the first rep, but then it gets easier... Best wishes to everyone struggling with this disorder.
