Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
I hope you feel better soon , in my opinion i think you have a kind of a muscular spasm or your rheumatoid arthritis was exaggerated by heavy lifting , changes in weather , vigorous movement or even a bad sleeping posture .
From you given history you mentioned taking tylenol and tylenol pm which will help for your pain and will ease you to sleep at night . i think you may need to add NSAIDs as tabs or gels form according to your other medications your physician may suggest the best form suitable for you.
For my patients i recommend hot massages with topical gels , B12 vitamin supplementation , muscle relaxants with some spinal straightening exercises , physiotherapy and even yoga will be helpful for most of cases .
If your pain persists i suggest MRI and X rays to rule any spinal herniation or discs and to manage post menopausal osteoporosis that is very common with aging and females are more liable to osteoporosis .
