Brief Answer:
Oral muscle relaxant will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
In addition to the pain medications you are already taking, you can take an oral muscle relaxant ( Soma/ Flexeril/ Robaxin) after consulting with your orthopedician for a rainy day. Doing a hot compress and application of a local analgesic gel will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

I will give this a try and let you know how it works. I already use a heating pad on it during those times.
