Heavy weights exercise causes a lot of wear and tear on body.
First you should do proper warm up exercise protocol.
Then u must do exercise in proper Manner for example u should check your lifting techniques.
I think 5 kg weight is not bearable for you right now.
You should slowly increase your weight..
So,
If now pain is there then u should stop exercising with heavy weights and firstly focus on pain treatment
1. Cold pack 15 min
2.proper rest for few days till pain get released
3.learn progressive strengthens exercises.
4. Learn proper warm up and cool down method.
