local medicine? i assume you mean... regular medication?

barring any other health issues:

aspirin or acetaminophen (tylenol/panadol).

naproxen sodium (synflex/aleve tablets).

diclofenac (eg, voren/cataflam tablets, voltaren gel/tablets).

other NSAIDs and analgesic gels/creams or capsaicin gels/creams.

as always, consult a board certified physician before starting any medication/supplement (oral/topical).

know the risks (both long and short term) and have a pain management plan drawn up!

taxico, M.D.

Vinegar will relieve the inflamation and pain, if you soak a dressing in the vinegar, preferably a brown rice one, because it will contain 18 to 20 amino acids, the amino acids will soak through the skin, so do it at night before sleeping and leave it on until you wake the next morning hopefully the pain will be gone.

My daughter 9 years old had a verucca (wart) on the sole of her foot, and the brown rice vinegar just shrivelled it up after 20 minutes soaking, quite surprised myself, two or 3 more days of treatment and it will be gone.

I have trouble with joint pain myself on occassions and use the cheaper vinegars, drinking vinegar is too expensive for soaking on the skin.

One needs to be 100% sure what it is, before you can look for the solution, though vinegar is truly quite amazing for many things.

If you know any Indonesians, ask them if they can get some Param Gosok (or Gocok). Rub it onto the area and it will relieve the pain.
