Hello,
I think you need to take naproxen for pain. After two days of rest you can start to do physical therapy to relieve pain. Also shading some pounds can help you with this condition. You can consult a dietitian for losing some pounds.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
