Hello,
As first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan to rule out spine-related symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
