Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more because your pain is associated with specific movement and position.
So follow these steps 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 and muscle relaxant drug.
6. Sit with proper back and chest support.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
