Stretch !: Once you have ruled out any neurologic problems, some active and passive physical therapy may help.
Stretching is very important prior to activities.
If you are a runner or active in sports/gym it is very important.
Ibuprofen may be used for pain too.
Talk to your doctor if symptoms persist
