Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms are suggestive of local musculoskeletal pain probably local inflammation.

For this reason, I would recommend using locally warm packs and taking ibuprofen 400mg three times daily for a couple of days.

I am sure that you will feel better following the above tips.

Nothing serious is going on! So just relax and don't worry about it!

Kind regards,
