Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain.
Treatment guidelines for a muscle strain or pull is as follows -
* Adequate rest for a few days
* Ice packing over the affected area once in 2 hours
* Once the acute pain subsides, Moist heat application over the affected muscles
* Gradual & gentle stretching exercises
* analgesic & muscle relaxants as needed
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
