I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more in your case.
Your pain is associated with movements. This is characteristic feature of musculoskeletal pain.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid movements causing pain.
4. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
