Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more because your pain is associated with heavyweight lifting.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain.
3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
5. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will mostly improve with all these in 1-2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
