Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. I think that you are asking about rhabdomyolysis, a serious syndrome due to a direct or indirect muscle injury resulting in the death of muscle fibers and release of their contents into the blood stream. I do not think that to be the scenario in your case. Nevertheless, a thorough clinical evaluation and correlation is required in order to comment definitively. Rather, it is more likely to be an effect of muscle fatigue due to overworking those muscles. Hot compress should provide relief. Paracetamol or acetaminophen can be taken if needed. It should resolve in a few days. If not, it would be a good idea to see a doctor.
Let me know if I could help further.
