Hello,
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated. In severe cases, steroid injection to the spine will be the only option left.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
