[/INST] Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly    thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..    You may avoid bad sleeping postures ,vigorous movements and try spinal straightening exercises .   For my patients i may recommend NSAIDs or painkillers like advil tabs when needed , hot gentle massages with topical gels of anti-inflammatory , B12 vitamin supplements and muscle relaxants will be effective for most of cases .   If pain persist i recommend MRI for proper evaluation and management and follow up with her physician .
