HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Muscle aches and pain can sometimes accompany viral or bacterial infections so it is possible that this is the reason for the pain that you are experiencing.
The use of pain medication would help. Since steroids are associated with a risk of irritating the stomach lining and this can also occur with some pain killers it may be best to avoid this type eg naproxen, ibuprofen, voltaren
You may want to try paracetamol to if this helps, if there is no improvement then you may need to see your doctor for assessment.
I hope this helps
