I went thru that about 10 years ago.
I kept thinking I could work thru it like every other injury but this is different. You have to get the bones aligned and also give the inflammation of the nerve time to subside. The more you stay off your feet the better. In the office I worked in a reclining office chair. I would ride a bike to the back of the building (it was about 50 yds there). If I walked, I would start out fine but be hobbling by the time I got there. I didn't do the drugs, just went a few times to a Chiropractor friend of mine, but he wasn't able to completely align it. I would try to do it myself after warming up the back muscles, I found a short bike ride would warm the body enough to have the muscles and joints more receptive to realignment.
My misalignment was way down near the end of the tailbone which was hard to get corrected. When it finally popped ( I did it myself) I knew immediately and it was such a relief!!! I could finally sleep again.
From the experience I have learned to align my low back myself by lying on the ground and crossing one leg over while pushing on the hip with my hand. I only do it when it feels 'out', and I can usually correct it myself now.
I hope that helps a little. I know it's not an easy time to go through.
