Brief Answer:
Please, see a doctor about this!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pains. For now, I will recommend a combination of tylenol and ibuprofen to address this pain. However, i will like to know whether you cycle or not. Also, ate there any positions that make this pain less? Also, what do you do as a profession?

I will suggest that you see the doctor eventually for an Xray to establish whether there is any bony lesion with this area that requires special attention and management plan.

Let me hear back from you on what plan you adopt. Keep me posted on this.
