Hi, sorry to hear you have it. In my experience, you never get over it, no matter what you take. It flares up, goes away, comes back. I have had it for 30 years. I find that carrying anything heavy will bring it on, also over-reaching, like to get things high on the cabinet shelves. It is worse during cold weather and I rarely have it bad in summer months. I too have been to the ER with pain so bad they thought it was my heart. I can't take advil or such, so I take two 8 hour tylenols twice a day morning and bedtime and try to dress warm on my upper body.
Good luck. I wish you the best. Louise
