HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may need to use a muscle relaxant and anti inflammatory pain killer to see if this helps.
These can be combined with the warm compresses that you are currently using.
Even if there is no pain the anti inflammatory pain killer (ibuprofen, naproxen, voltaren) would help reduce any inflammation that may be present in the affected area.
Examples of muscle relaxants are soma, flexeril, baclofen.
I hope this helps
