Do you have a comfortable position? Or does it hurt the same standing, sitting, or laying? Do you need opioids to sleep?

My experience has been when I took Oxycodone to help sleeping through the night, my digestive timing was delayed. I was uncomfortable until I had a BM. Usually later that day. I also have much different pain levels standing. I wish I could walk a hundred feet before the pain gets very difficult. I stopped using Oxy before bed. Really helped my digestive timing. I also sit a lot. I wait until I have to get up and do something before I take the Oxy. It helps me do household chores. I cut 10-325 into 4 pieces and take them when I really need them. Like right now I took a quarter pill and in about 20 minutes I'm getting on the mower and cleaning up some leaves with it. I'll take another quarter pill about 30 minutes from now and it'll take the edge off for an hour or so. Then I'll sit down. This kind of usage has taken me from four pills a day to about one.
My other experience is with PT and exercise. It makes my back feel worse. I've come to realize if I don't ask for much I won't be too disappointed. I like places that have benches that allow me to sit when I need to sit. Like the boardwalk at the shore.
And I've found icing is a very effective pain reliever. It's just so damn cold on some areas.
You should tinker with what might work for you.
