Erosive osteoarthritis pain but can't take NSAIDS

I started using a tens machine and have also found it brings relief. Not long lasting but enough to make a difference. I tried waterfit exercises but that was a mistake as it aggravated the pain. Maybe tried too much. Next time I think I will just float and tread water...

Yes, a waterfit class would 'finish me off'!
"Slow & steady' is the method. When the season starts, it's floating only for about 15 minutes; then the next day a bit longer. By the end of the first week I'm treading water.
It seems that there is a 'bomb' in my back... and must use great care not to 'trigger it'.
The water gives strengthening, and blissful relaxation.
All the best in finding the 'Magic balance'!
