HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the pain has not improved at all, you may need to be reviewed by your doctor.
You may need stronger pain medication and may also need some physiotherapy to help exercise the affected muscles.
The use of warm compresses on the affected muscles may also help somewhat.
It would be very important to rest whenever possible.
I hope this helps
