If you can possibly afford it, get an emergency appointment at a physio. You don't need to be refered by the GP.

Hot and cold treatment may help. Alternate between draping a hot water bottle or wheat bag over the sore muscles for 10 mins with then draping an ice-pack (well wrapped in a towel) over the same place for 10 mins. Repeat 3 or 4 times.

brilliant thanks will try it.
