Brief Answer:
Pain killer + muscle relaxant....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Since the ache started recently, I would start you on pain killer + muscle relaxant drugs like mobizox twice daily for few days. I would analyze the condition after a week. Investigations and more evaluation will be needed if symptoms don't improve.

You should ask your local physician about this medicine as it is not over the counter drug.

In the interim, you can apply warm compresses; topical pain sprays such as relaxyl on the affected area and avoid strenuous physical exercises.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
