Try pain meds like -: Nsaids {ibuprofen/aleve(if no allergies/side effects)} to reduce pain and swelling. Others include a trial of tylenol (acetaminophen) for short periods of time ( for 1-2 weeks). Sometimes a muscle relaxer is helpful. If no relief, certainly see your pcp for further care. Exercise regularly and pt is beneficial. See the pcp for prescriptions. Good luck.
