Hi,

Since how long have you had the pain? From the symptoms you have mentioned, it sounds like a muscle sprain or pull. You may try a muscle relaxant such as Chlorzoxaxone, which is available as a tablet. Alternatively a muscle relaxant cream such as Volini may also be used. Quite often, the pain may also be related to heartburn, in which case, Rantac maybe taken, before food. Overweight can also be a problem causing the pain, so fitness is extremely important, as a way of life. If all these measures do not help, please consult an orthopedician near to you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sreeja
