Sounds like you may be dealing with a muscle knot in your back. To help relieve the pain and swelling, you can try using a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (Cyclobenzaprine) along with a topical pain relief cream like Voltaren Gel (Diclofenac). Additionally, applying a heating pad to the affected area and gently massaging the muscle knot can also help to alleviate the discomfort. Make sure to avoid sleeping on the right side to prevent further aggravating the muscle. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to follow up with your GP for further evaluation and treatment.
