I'm not a doctor. Of course one could prescribe medication for the pain. But many ailments are difficult to diagnose and fix themselves after a few weeks, so it makes no sense to rush into things.

Modern medicine isn't magic, and there isn't always that much that a responsible doctor can do for you.
