Hi,
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. You can take analgesics like tramadol or gabapentin for pain relief. Psychological support is an important factor in the treatment. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can provide symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
