HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
In some cases of muscle or bony injury the maximum pain is felt days after the initial injury.
The level of pain increases slowly over a period of days till it reaches the highest level.
Using anti inflammatory pain killers such as naproxen, diclofenac or ibuprofen may help but if the pain is severe, it may be best to see your doctor for a review.
I hope this helps
