Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.

You need to be physically examined by a physician to for the cause of the same.However, for now,a short course of Non steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines(NSAIDS)can be taken like - Naproxen 500 mg twice a day after meals along with Pantoprazole 40 mg once a day empty stomach.This will provide a temporary relief from pain at least.PLEASE TAKE MEDICINES UNDER GUIDANCE ONLY.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
