Brief Answer:
it seems to be due to muscle spasm.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that your symptoms can be due to spasm of the muscles.
I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an Orthopedic surgeon.
Following investigations may be helpful :-
1. Serum Calcium.
2. Serum Phosphorus.
3. Uric Acid.
4. RA Factor.
5. ESR.
6. Thyroid profile.
7. Para Thyroid Hormone.
8. Hemoglobin levels.
You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with a muscle relaxant like Chloroxazone. Also take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals. Hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel locally will have added benefits.
Further medical management can be planned according to the clinical evaluation done by your doctor and according to the reports of the above mentioned investigations.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
