Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain due to the heavy lifting. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using Voltaren gel for local applications. I recommend gentle stretching exercises for relieve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
