Hello Yen Diep,
This is Dr. Klarida Papaqako answering your question.
I read your question very carefully.
-- My first advice is to continue stay active. Though, intensive exercises are not recommended. So keep walking, but don't do heavy exercises.
-- Applying heat to the site of pain, may help. If cold feels better, may as well.
-- Analgesic creams, 3-4 times a day, locally are proved to be very beneficial.
-- If all these measures do not relive pain completely and it still stops you from doing daily activity, then you should start using medications: Paracetamol 500mg every 4 hours, or Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours. You should not need a doctor prescription for these medications.
Hope this helps,
Regards.
