Thanks for writing to us.
I understand your situation. Start with naproxen with pcm and muscle relaxant such as myoril. Start locsl gel application and take absolute bed rest. Please keep a pillow under both knee while sleeping. If pain unbearable then consider injectable medicine by going to nearby ER. Thanks.
