Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to myalgia. It is related to inflammation of the muscles.
I recommend using an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three tablets a day. I also recommend using anti-inflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren gel.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
