Hi thank you for querry,
there are several possibilities of such kind of pain incliuding lungs and muskuloskeltal pain.
its better to start simple analgesic along with muscle relaxant and local painkiller spray or gel to get relieve.
if its not helpfull than contact your doctor for proper workup to rule out any underlying pathology.
Hope the answer will help you.
