I am worried as I have just started a new Job and don’t want to be taking the time off , at the moment I couldn’t work I feel very tired and weak and ache all over . Does any body know how long this take to clear .
Thanks
There is no long or short answer to this. I have had numerous episodes over the years. Rest and gentle warmth over the painful area helps me. Some over the counter pain medications could help you. Normally I feel better in one or two weeks but I have learnt from experience that it takes longer if I try and push recovery.
