Hello,
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that pain after lifting heavy object happens most likely because of muscle spasm.
You can take some muscle relaxant available over the counter for 2-3 days and do heat fomenting. If that is not helping then kindly consult a physician or orthopedician for physical and diagnostic evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
