Who really does have time for pain!
I suppose if you tell yourself that and can somehow mentally ignore pain indefinitely...but most of us can't and don't want to. We just want to get rid of the pain, and be as healthy as we can.
That being said let's learn to beat pain. The best way to do that is to prevent it from happening to begin with. Here's what we need to do: Exercise, Eat right, Manage our Stress, and Keep our spines healthy. We need to do the last one because that one holds our nervous system, which controls everything in the body.

End Neck Pain by Improving Posture- How Proper Posture Improves Your Spine Relieving Nerve Pressure- How does posture have anything to do with neck pain?--Neck pain comes from pressure on the nerves.

Stay Healthy As You Get Older!
You've heard me say it before: "motion is life". So get up and start moving. It doesn't have to be a lot; 30 minutes a day even. You know you sit most of the day so make it a point to get up and move around periodically. Maybe it's even just to stretch or do some isometrics.
Next, is to start adopting some healthier habits. A big one I see with so many people is that they don't eat breakfast or at least a good one. So try your best to do that - eggs, yogurt...
Lastly, Drink more water. Water is essential for so many body functions, and it's so much better for you than some of the junk out there.

Acupuncture Works Well
I remember one particular technique called "Circle The Dragon". With this technique you literally put needle points all around the area of discomfort. Let's say for example it was knee pain; you literally circle around the knee with the acupuncture needles.
I recall Dr Oz having an Acupunturist on an episode he had about pain relief. Some medical doctor came on to say "there is no studies on it so I really don't believe in it".
That must be why it's been around for a Billion years or so, and there's acupuncture clinics everywhere??? I'm not here to promote or deny something, I'm of the philosophy: if there's no harm, try it - if it works, who cares about peer reviewed studies, etc...
By the way, I'm sure there's something out there, just do a bit more research. I'm sure you can find something out there for a billion year plus practice.
