Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I wake up some nights (about twice a week) with side ache pain (on the right) about mid way down my torso. It seems to throb. Sometimes the paikn shoots upward to my neck/shoulder area. I must be very careful when turning over. Advil relieves most of the pain. Standing up and walking around also seems to give relief.
[|AI|]  Hi, In my opinion that is a kind of neuropathic pain due to nerve compression or muscular spasm due to abnormal sitting and sleeping mattresses usually relieved by physiotherapy, hot massages with topical muscle relaxants, B12 supplements, avoid heavy lifting and vigorous movements and painkillers like Advil when needed will be effective for now. If pain persists I suggest X-rays, MRI, CT to exclude cervical herniation or other cause of compression and for proper management and evaluation.
