Brief Answer:
Muscular pain is possible and treatment explained below
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service,
I carefully read your query and understand your concern. The pain you describe is a typical muscular pain as it is worse on certain movements. You can use acetaminophen 500 mg and Ibuprofen 600 mg every 6 hours after food to help with the pain and try to avoid activities that make it worse.
Sometimes muscular pains may last for a few weeks. To help heal quicker a visit with a physiotherapist may be helpful to relax the tender muscle and strengthen the muscles that are needed for certain movements.
I hope this answers your query and is helpful to you. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General and Family Physician
