You can take either ibuprofen or acetaminophen for the discomfort. If this just happened, apply ice to the area as this should help as well, Rest-avoid exertion. If it doesn’t begin to feel better, call your doctor or go to the ER or urgent care for further evaluation/treatment. If you experience any pins/needles, decreased sensation or weakness, go to the nearest ER. Best of luck to you!
