I think If you pulled soemthing it would have hurt sooner. I say give it a few days. On sunday I did legs. No pain until monday where I was so stiff and achey I dreaded standing up. 3 days later it is getting better but still hurts. I will be better by friday just in time to do it all again. On that bassis I would give it a few days DOMS will subside after 2-3 days max. For me that is as long at it has ever lasted.
It also gets easier to move when you have started. Injuries are always a constant pain and worse when you move.

What was your workout on Sunday? As you are doing shoulders and back and didn't say this was the same, did you workout involve chest or biceps?
General over activation of these muscles and therefore the feeling of tightness could be mildly constricting the blood vessels and nerve pathways.
I have cut a piece of PVC pipe to use like a foam roller for one of my clients to use on his desk. Symptoms weren't exactly the same but the pipe still had the desired affect. Alternatively, a massage, either yourself or get someone else to do it. Add in chest, bicep, tricep, posterior shoulder and all wrist stretches as well.
May be too late to make a substantial difference this time, but may help you recover quicker next time.

As in weak? We did loads of leg raises last night. This morning I couldn't sit up in bed. It was as if someone had removed my abdominal muscles. I had to roll onto my side and push up with my arm. 
Lifeless is how I'd describe it.I've had muscle fatigue before but this just feels like a new level.
Was a good workout I had so could just be out for the count.

Just eat enough, rest and I'm sure all will be good.
