No idea: since I don't know what was causing the pain, or what the doctors who examined you found. The best answers to your questions would come from the people who saw you, and you should be asking them. If it is run-of-the-mill muscle spasm, it should be better within 24-48 hours, but there is no simple answer. Don't drive while on the Valium, and stay away from alcohol as well.
