See your doctor: If these are symptomatic, the following treatments may be helpful. Nsaids (if not medically contraindicated as you doctor), physical therapy, occipital nerve blocks could also be helpful with this. Ensure you also have the correct diagnosis. Narcotic pain medications is not advised for this, it will only potentially make the situation and symptoms a lot more significant for you in the long run.
