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,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
