Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having musculoskeletal pain because your pain is associated with specific movement.
So no need to worry much. Do following things for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
5. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 5 - 7 days.
If not improving after 7 days then consult doctor and get done chest x ray to rule out internal pathology.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
