General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to myalgia rheumatica.

I suggest using painkillers to treat the pain such as Ibuprofen.

I also suggest using an anti-inflammatory cream such as Voltaren cream for local application.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
