Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, sometimes following camping or strenuous trekkings muscles get cramped or may experience tightness for few days if not habitual of athletism, and using OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen along with muscle relaxants like tizanidine or orphenadrine may be helpful for symptomatic relief. If persists, involved joints X-rays may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
