Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid movements causing pain. 3.  Avoid bad postures in sleep. 4. Avoid prolonged sitting. Also sit with proper back support. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. 6. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. You will mostly improve with all these in 1 week time. If after 1 week, you still have pain then get done chest x-ray to rule out lung pathology. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
