Brief Answer:
You should take skeletal muscle relaxant tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like musculoskeletal pain.

I normally prescribe Skeletal muscle relaxant tablet containing Thiocolchicoside to my patients with similar complaints. These are of course prescription medications, so you need to get a prescription from your primary care physician.

If there is no response with in a week,please consult your doctor and get an X ray and Ultrasound of the affected area.

If you have undergone any investigations, please send them.I will go through them.

Hope I answered your query.

If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
