Well the medication is basically meant to calm your spinal nerves and your psyche. So if you are not relieved you can definitely stop it without any worry best thing is get yourself check the up by an orthopaedic surgeon to come to a diagnosis so that proper treatment can be done. Meanwhile apply ice for 20 minutes every hourly and take adequate rest so that your muscles can recover.
