Hello,

The possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain is more with movements like bending, coughing, sneezing etcetera. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
3. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
5. Sit with proper back support.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in one to two days.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
