Hello,
You can take analgesics like ibuprofen or Diclofenac. These are NSAID group analgesics and this can not be used for long term. You can also try alternatives like Tramadol which is regarded as safe for longer period of use. If pain persists despite analgesics, you have to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
