Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The mild inflammation that is left can be treated with oral anti inflammatory medicines. Continue with laser and ultrasound therapy. Oral muscle relaxants can also help. In case the pain persists you can get local steroid injections after consulting your orthopedician.
I hope this answers your query.
