Hello,
I would recommend taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril, concomitantly with Naproxen (a painkiller) for the pain.
If this does not help, I would recommend taking tramadol for the pain. It is also important checking vitamin D and calcium plasma levels for possible deficiency.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
