Hi, I went through your query. I would suggest you use a hotbag on the stiff areas and apply a diclofenac gel locally. If the pain is too severe you can take diclofenac-tizanidine combination orally. However if the pain and stiffness you might need an MRI. Hope this helps . I will be happy to help if you have any more query.
