HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would get better but would take longer.
A physiotherapist would be able to start exercises and other treatments (massage, ultrasound, laser, electrotherapy) if needed.
This therapy can be used along with the pain medication that you are using.This pain medications should be used after food/drink to reduce the chance of gastritis.
