If you live with chronic pain, what strategies/meds have helped you the most?

@RickiTarr various strengths of paracetamol, nsaid, nerve blockers and opioids. Apparently, the only other option is anaesthetic one I'm not on and he won't prescribe it for me 😔.

I'm trying to achieve a low enough pain level to be able to add light exercise but currently that's tricky most days.
