Brief Answer:
If you have mobizox, you can take it

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you have Mobizox medicine, you can take one tablet of it and it will give you relief. However, its a muscle relaxant and you cannot drive or lift things for a day. Also you ma feel sleepy, so I will advise that you do not go outdoors.

Apply some heat with a hot water bottle or heated towel.
There are many creams available to get relief from pain like move or Voltaren gel.

It usually resolves in a day o two with adequate rest.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
