Brief Answer:
Looks the pain is from muscles

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for query.
The way you described the pain sounds like non worrisome one, originating from the muscles of the upper back. Panadol should help you. How much dose did you take? A 500mg / Double strength should be most effective solution for you.
Along this I also suggest liniment application (Tiger Balm / XXXXXXX etc) which has camphor in it. A hot water bag over the painful area helps.

Rest is very important part of healing and should not be ignored. You should give a break for your self before you resume.

Hope this answers.
