Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to mialgia which is an inflammation of the muscles.
I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day.
I also suggest using magnesium supplements daily.
I recommend warm compresses and warm shower to help relieve the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
