If you're searching for the quick relief and you haven't found it yet, you're unlikely to find it in the future. Unfortunately, the real truth of getting out of pain, especially musculoskeletal pain, is that it takes work and some of that work is uncomfortable.
But you have to be able to challenge your body and stress your body in ways to desensitize it to the pain while also building strength. That's really the only way to get back to functional pain-free living.
And once you get out of pain, you do need to maintain some of what you learned through your rehab. You need to keep challenging your body or at least maintain what you gained, otherwise you go back to everything you were doing before and the pain comes back eventually. It could be years, it could be months, but it will likely come back if you stop doing all the things that helped you get out of it in the first place.
