There is a book that teaches about muscles, pain and referred pain anywhere in the body. The principle is that the muscles get knots called trigger points which make the muscles tight that then press on nerves. It teaches how to get them to release which gets rid of the pain.
The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
I also use a chiropractor and massage therapist as needed.

First of all totally disregard any postings from idiots who say that Oxycontin is the answer. It sounds as though your pain is acute(new and recent) rather than chronic (long term 3+ months). You are following the right path. You don't want to take meds without your doctor knowing it when he is trying to diagnose the problem As an example even aspirin can change your symptoms and make inflammation go away for a while. Think of it as taking your car into the shop. If the mechanic can't find the problem he can't fix it. Follow your doctors advise and do this one step at a time.
Oxycontin is for chronic and long term pain. It is a time release formula and it takes about 24 hours for Oxycontin to reach its effective levels, it also takes 24 hours or more for the med to go down. 40mg is a very high dose for someone who has not presently taking narcotic pain relief. A start dosage that high has the potential of effecting your breathing, and your heart. It could possibly kill you. Since it is time release if you have any negative reaction it will take longer to neutralize it. The do make fast acting equivalent to Oxycontin. It goes under a number of names, Oxycodone, and Hydrocodone are the two most common. These too are vary power full and should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor. Be especially careful if you are female and of child baring age.

Tell him the pain is severe and wakes you up at night. Then he should treat you appropriately. Good luck and be dramatic. Doctors are notorious for letting people suffer in fear of addiction. Studies show that only 1 percent of those on narcotics get addicted. On a scale of 1-10; your pain is a 9, Your pain is continuous. Your pain is sharp and dull and you cannot get relief. Good luck and I am sure your doctor will treat you right.

This could be because of muscle fatigue or dehydration. Try exercising all parts of your body. It also sometimes is due to disuse atrophy. Consult a doctor if it persists. You can also look for information in the web. I found this website very useful. http://aches.in/cramps.html
