How Can Pain In The Right Shoulder And Leg Be Treated?

I am a fairly fit woman of 64, and have been suffering for the last couple of weeks or more, muscle pain from strenuous gym work outs, while I am on my off-season landscape/garden job in Colorado. I took a new gym class using dumb bells and weights at a very fast pace doing squats and over the head lifts of dumbells and weights, and never went back to that class! I have been doing yoga type work-outs recently to help stretch the muscles, but want to know if there is a treatment you suggest, and should I take Aleve 200 vs. Motrin 800 at night to help me sleep. Sleeping and sitting seem to result in the most pain, whereas hiking, walking and moving around does not! Most pain in right shoulder and in higher leg area (where bends at hip). Thank you. Cleta

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear Cleta,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is advise.

I think the pain you are experiencing comes due to overexercising.
You should not increase the intensity of exercises by yourself. You should train under supervision of a gym trainer.
I recommend you to do stretching and physiotherapy. Also you can use aleve and advil for pain.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
