Hello,
You should take ibuprofen or Naproxen for pain. Also, you may need to take muscle relaxation medications such muscoflex. If the pain still is bad you may need to take corticosteroids. Also, physical therapy is recommended.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
