Hello,
You can take analgesics like gabapentin or tramadol for pain relief. It takes quite a time and complete remission is not likely. You can avoid certain posturing and weightlifting.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
