Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

You had done 36 hour shift duty in past.
And your job not smooth .and doing shift of different time....

So your pain here seems to be musculoskeletal pain by over work...
Mostly muscular strain present....

Rest done...If need analgesic given...
Apply hot pads ...
Avoid overexertion...
Take sleep in supine position ...
Try to avoid movement causing pain..

If still condition worsen then your examination done to investigate further...

Take care.
