Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely in your case.
So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of affected parts.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Also start calcium and vitamin d 3 supplements as deficiency of these can cause such multiple pains.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
