Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain. I suggest to use a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen to help with muscle relaxation. I also suggest to use magnesium supplements. Warm shower can also be helpful in relieving the symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
