Brief Answer:
anti inflammatory pain medication

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Using heat compress or cold compress were good ideas, ice is normally used in the first few days after an injury or when pain initially occurs and heat is used if there is no relief after the first few days.

In addition to the use of heat then ice, you should consider the use of medication if you can use it.

Anti inflammatory medication such as naproxen or ibuprofen maybe helpful. Either of these may be useful to you. There are over the counter medication and should be used after food or drink.
IN the initial stages, you may need medication like clock work for the first 1 to 4 days if the pain is severe.

If there is no improvement, you may need prescription pain medication from your doctor

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Brief Answer:
may definitely need prescription medication with physiotherapy

Detailed Answer:
HI

If you are already taking over the counter pain medication with no improvement then you may need strong prescription pain medication and physiotherapy

An option would be to combine different types of pain medication eg paracetamol with one of the anti inflammatory meds but if you have already tried this as well, then prescription pain meds would be the next course of action.
Over the counter pain medications can , unfortunately, only do so much

You may also need imaging of the area to determine the exact cause of the pain if this is not already known

please feel free to ask anything else
