Physician/Orthopedecian PRESCRIBED medications + PHYSIOTHERAPY is the solution. If you're unable to visit any, you can apply any pain relief gel and immediately do HOT FOMENTATION! (garam pani me bhigoye kapde se sikai OR use HOT WATER BOTTLE!). Do exercises under the supervision of physiotherapist!!
Health Tips
Temperature for hot fomentation should be comfortably warm.
