Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
So far you had a good treatment. You can have any treatment for pain, but i suggest only N.S.A.I.D.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections, for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically, and some pain killer according to your experience and choice.
I also advise you to take fresh juice of palatable vegetables, daily to have a good result.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
