Brief Answer:
Get your investigations done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have read your query.

There are many reasons for this.

So get xray of chest AP view, serum uric acid, E.S.R done and send me the report.

Till then you can take aceclofenac + serratiopeptidase combination three times a day by prescription of your family doctor.

Apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening.

Avoid pushing, pulling and weight lifting for about 3 weeks.

I hope you have got your answer.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
