Hello lybrate-user thanks for reaching out. You seem to be having muscular issues leading to pain. There can be multiple causes of it ranging from fibromyalgia, nutritional deficiencies to improper posture. I would recommend proper ergonomics, regular back and breathing exercises, and healthy diet. Yes you can start the medicines mentioned by you. Do consult privately if you would like to discuss the issue in depth. Good health

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, as per your symptoms indicate, it can be a muscular spasm pain. However without a thorough examination, nothing can be conclusively said. You can continue taking the medications you have mentioned. If giving inadequate relief, short courses of muscle relaxant and exercises can be given. Still if pain persist, interventional pain management options can be tried where in nerves carrying pain from the painful areas are blocked. Feel free to get in touch for any further advise.
