The pain has been going on for about two months on and off.
the pain is never unbearable. more nagging and tight then severe pain. it comes and goes too.
pain is mostly when i am sitting I think it may have had to do with my sitting posture at work. I have recently purchased a new office chair as i am sitting for 6 to 8 hours a day.
Yes the pain is relieved by over the counter aspirin or ibuprofen.
Pain is more a nagging tightness then a severe shooting pain so I was dealing with it just recently went to physical therapist.
Thanks!
