Specializes in Anti-Aging Medicine

Musculoskeletal...: Sounds like a Musculoskeletal Disorder, probably muscle strain. If warm compresses and OTC Ibuprofen with food do not give sufficient relief a work up with the Doctor including some imaging might be helpful. Remember to continue with Covid-19 precautions par WHO/CDC.
