You can try topical anti inflammatory such as Voltaren gel.
Rest and ice followed by isometric exercises then walking and strengthening
It depends on your other medical conditions. Many people need a combination of physical therapy and anti inflammatory medications. Anti inflammatory medications should only be used under guidance of a doctor as they can have serious side effects.Some people need injections. You should get professional guidance as it can be difficult to treat on your own.
Rest, ice, anti-inflammatories.
