Hi, Lybrate user. You should not worry. These all are due to stress. In this covid19 pandemic situation many people are suffering from same situation. Do something like morning walk / excercise. Eat healthy diet in routine. Don't skip. You should make busy in something like study or any work as far as possible. I wish you will feel better soon. Thank you.

Does cupping therapy give instant relief from pain and muscle soreness or do we have to go through several sessions.

Cupping therapy is a gimmick and does not relieve pain. It is waste of time and money. First we need to know about what kind of pain you are having. For that please try to consult and talk to me. Thanks.

Hello, causes of shoulder pain are need to be ruled out through a questionnaire. Consult me on a private chat for the same. Till then apply hot or cold pack whichever suits better. Apply some pain relieving gel after that. Do some shoulder and neck streches if comfortable.

Continue with the physiotherapy. You cannot get an immediate recovery as per the medication intake cases. You have to do the exercises regularly as per adviced by the physiotherapists. Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone. Stiffness have developed due to weakness of the ligaments & inflamatted cartilage. Specific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball underneath the knee and keep pressing it. That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee.
