<bot>: If the pain is severe, you should consult with your doctor to determine if it's safe for you to continue working or doing other activities that may be causing the pain. Depending on the cause of the pain, they may recommend treatments such as rest, physical therapy, medications, and/or injections. You should also consider talking to a therapist about how to cope with the pain and any stress associated with it.
