Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
In that case, you can opt for a steroid injection to the spine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
