The possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on the 'Ask A Doctor' forum.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, the possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
So take a simple painkiller like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen.
Avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid bad posture while sitting.
Sit with proper back support.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Apply Diclofenac spray or Bengay cream for pain relief.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 5-7 days. So no need to visit the GP or any doctor at present.
If not improving after 1-2 weeks then consult the doctor and get done clinical examination and chest x-ray.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks


Incidence of pulmonary embolism is very less.

I can understand your concern.
Honestly speaking, theoretically, hormonal contraceptive pills can cause Pulmonary embolism but incidence is very very less.
So no need to worry for this.
But if these symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks despite of treatment, better to consult doctor in person and get done clinical examination and chest x ray.
