She has taken some anti-inflamatorys applied a wheat bag and i have rubbed on a little aloe vera cream which is similar to a mild deep heat.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The pains that you have described are likely to be due to a muscular spasm. Taking mild stretching exercise will be helpful. Pain killers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief.
You can do a hot fomentation and apply a local analgesic gel on the area to relieve the spasm.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
