Tree work is way more work than people realize.
I have chronic back and hip pain too and I also refuse to take pain killers. I'm lying on a heating pad in bed right now. That's about all I do. I know eventually that won't be enough.

Well I do take ibuprofen whenever I feel like I need it. Still, while I don't ingest it every day it might as well be a 5th basic food group.
I avoid oxycodone & other opiates; we all know how addictive those tablets are. Pharmacies don't let you stock up on that stuff for that reason, along with their street values. As for "eventually"...will figure that out when I come to it.
Also, welcome to my blog. Feel free to stop in whenever you like.

Were you alone or accompanied? :)

I was working alone. My nearest neighbor knew I was there, however... Touched base with him before I started. If I had gotten in trouble, he would've called in emergency services the minute he knew about it.
