Its common to get pain after cupping if not placed the cups properly.
If there are no Scratches and redness around the trapezius where the cups was places, apply hot pack.
If there are any scratches still which have'nt healed yet then apply ice pack.
After the redness and scratches heals visit nearby physiotherapy clinic and take ulttasound therapy for a week.

Apply icing where swelling and redness is there,apply reducing swelling and redness take ultrasonic therapy for 7 days to reduce pain.
