General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms are more related to an overuse due to lifting the motor cycle. I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
