What Is The Cause Of Muscle Soreness?
Hi
I have muscle soreness which appeared 2 days ago for no reason - my physical behaviour has not changed over the last few weeks. It started in my heel for few days then 2 days ago I woke to find I could hardly get out of bed. My calf, thigh, upper back & neck muscles were very sore - like I'd run a 50 kn marathon. Also my finger muscles nearest my palm, my upper & forearm muscles were very sore. As the day went on they improved but the next day (yesterday) I woke to find my forearms were extremely sore to the point where I cOuld not open the rear car door etc. Today is certainly an improvement but I'd say I'm only 3/10 all over. I don't have any other symptoms & I'm never ever sick - no conditions of any kind. I'm female & 49 years old. Would you have any idea what this could be please? Fi

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Your muscle soreness could be due to chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia . Best treatment is more and more exercise. It seems stupid but believe me, first few weeks you feel exhaust, but slowly you feel better. even brisk walking is helpful
Relaxation techniques are very good. You can also try meditation
A good sleep is the most important thing that you require
A good balanced diet is also helpful which include milk, vegetables and fruits.
Exercises and stretches plays important role in maintaining symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
