Brief Answer:
Hot compress can help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
if the X-rays show no bone damage then muscle spasm is a likely cause of pain. The medicines you have been given are correct but it takes 2-3 days to show an effect. For earlier relief you can do a hot compress in the area and then apply the ointment prescribed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
