Yes, there are many herbal anti-inflammatories that can help. Also some items that can help the problem structurally, over time. To help with the immediate pain and inflammation: Evening Primrose Oil -10g daily for 6-9 days. After this, you can stop for a while, or continue at just 4g. Cherry Extract Powder - This item: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QG6QKFC , 7 capsules. DLPA will be helpful for pain and inflammation and also enhance the effectiveness of your other analgesics. You haven't mentioned if you take NSAIDs. These can be useful as a corrective course, once the problem is more under control, and you can limit the possible side-effectives with other supplements. Long term - (It could take 2-3 months to notice efficacy, and you should continue for at least6 months) - High amounts of Fish Oil, 7-15g Omega 3 daily. Take this together with CoQ10, Vitamin E, and turmeric. Suma (Brazilian ginseng) seems to be particularly helpful for this sort of problem, among herbs in its class. For acute episodes, ginger powder can be very helpful, but you need to take a lot of it. 12-24g (that'll be 24-48 capsules, that's right) (because I know how desperate one can be, with this sort of pain) or 3-4tbs of ginger powder from the spice rack. This will provide effective and lasting relief.

You haven't mentioned traction, but of course, you want to include that. It seems to me, that anything that takes more weight off of the afflicted part will be helpful, and to that end, then you might look into compression garments, like a compression shirt or some comparable garment. I would specifically recommend items made by Copper Compression, the company has excellent customer service and product design, and the copper makes wearing the items much more pleasant.
