Honestly, for me, laying down just flat on my back was one of the best ways to deal with the pain. Obviously, when you're getting up and out of bed, move really slowly. For me, wearing the brace while I was laying down sometimes helped, and I think just be patient. For me, the first like week or two was really bad. The pain was really bad and it was hard to move, but then it progressively got better and better until at about two or three months, I was feeling really good again. After three months, I was able to stop wearing the brace. I would just say be patient and rely on God because He'll help you through it.
