Heat helps a lot. I have to ask why ibuprofen and aleve are out? If they help why not use them? You could also go to the health food store and ask about natural muscle relaxers like kava or valerian or vervain, it might be worth a try. Suzy

So sorry to hear you are finding no relief for your pain. Have you tried paracetamol? It's quite gentle on the stomach.. It may take the edge off. If you are sitting at work.. Maybe take a small cushion? Are you taking any type of stool softener? Achieving a nice soft stool seems to take the pain level after down a notch or two for me.
Soak in the tub when you can.
Hope you can find some relief xx
