Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I a so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. From the information you have provided, this is more of a musculoskeletal pain with no underlying muscle or soft tissue injury. Pain medications would be able to control the symptoms. A combination of tylenol and Ibuprofen as recommended by your pharmacist would be very helpful. Right now, there is no sign for alarms and monitoring would be very helpful to pick up any other abnormality and address in a timely fashion.

I wish you well. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thanks so much for using our services.
