Hello,

Please do some exercises. If you sit or sleep in the same place, few toxic metabolites remain in the body and will cause pain.

Sometimes circulation is hampered which cause anaerobic metabolism and lactate production which is the cause of all your pains. Kindly move your limbs and body regularly to improve circulation.

You can even use hot oil massage, hot water bath, steam water, etcetera to improve circulation. For muscle relaxation, Baclofen drug can benefit you this time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
