Hello! I understand your concern! It is a common problem affecting a lot of patients with problems like yours. I would recommend physical therapy, massages to reduce the muscles contraction. Wearing a brace has also shown to be helpful. If you were my patient I would also try an antidepressant like amytriptiline. It will help with your humor too. But it may cause heart problems and should be taken only after a cardiologist consulting. Other drugs I would recommend are gabapentine and pregabaline , two antiepileptics, successful iN chronic pain treatment. Hope to have been helpful, Best wishes Dr Abaz Quka
