Hello,

If you feel the symptoms are not increasing, most likely the symptoms have musculoskeletal origin or a mild nerve irritation. You may apply a heatrub and take over the counter NSAID like Ibuprofen.

If the symptoms persist and become progressive or if you notice any other unusual symptoms coming along like shortness of breath or chest pain, you have to see your doctor as soon as possible.

Take care!
