Well, my pain is mostly from nerve damage so I don't have too much useful advice, I'd think, but I do also get hurt at work a lot.

Different topical analgesics do different things. There's a bunch of different formulations. (I use a Lidocaine cream for really bad days, it's literally the only painkiller I've found that works for my nerve damage. Everything else, even hard shit like morphine, doesn't touch it at all.) If you can afford it, I would recommend buying a few different types with different active drugs and experimenting with them. You might stumble across something that actually works. And even if you don't find something great, a little bit of relief can go a long way.

I guess the other thing would be to make sure you're not sitting or standing too much. Even if you've got a million pillows to help support it, sitting can really be hell on your back. Even if you feel like you aren't using those back muscles, you are. I've hurt my back badly enough a few times that I had to go lie down for a while every few hours because just being upright was fucking me up too much.
