Muscle Pain after drinking Alcohol.

I'm 19, and not a big alcohol drinker. I have drank in the past but lately when I do drink, I get severe shoulder/upper back muscle pain about 5-15 minutes after the first sip. My upper back tenses, and even massages wouldn't help the pain, I would wait it out. When I Googled my symptom, I noticed posts that stated this was linked to Lymphoma Hodgkins. My blood aunt is actually fighting Lymphoma Non-Hodgkins and I want to know, is my pain after consuming alcohol a sign of Lymphoma or Hodgkins? Or is it more so possible that its something else?

Yeah, sounds like a possible allergy. Weird that it just seemed to develop recently though.

Maybe it might be a migraine or it could be due to your hormones.. I'm not a medical person,  Magnesium is good for the muscles.  Hope this helps...
