big muscle soreness after small use of muscles

Posted , 5 users are following.

my sympthoms r very simple,i get huge muscle soreness after small use of muscle

for example right now i am able to walk about 40 minutes per day,and if i would walk 1 hour my legs would have muscle soreness for 5 days

if i would do 10 push ups my chest would be sore for 3 days

i tried eating more proteins,stretching,massasging my muscles,cold showers,eating glutamin,eating magnesium but nothing helped at all

i went to hospital and they did multiple tests on me,but every test turned out to be fine

i googled my simpthoms and there came results like "chorinical fatugue syndrome" which is not my case becase chronical fatigue syndrome is when somebody is felling tired without any reason,i am having muscle soreness only if i did more movement than i did the day before,and by "movement" i mean walking more than 40 minutes

also the resaults were some disease that cause muscle loss,i do lose muscle but it is because i am unable to use them

i am not very weak,i think i would be able to walk for 5 hours but i get muscle soreness after walking more than 40

in other words i get soreness without even geting tired nor giving my maximum effort

also i suffer from depression,and i though it could be somatoform disorder but my psychoterpaist said that it isnt

i am 23 yo,174cm tall and i weight 65 kg

does anybody know anything about this disease or could give me any advice what to do about it ?

    It is very unlikely any of us can help - we have an autoimmune disorder that typically affect old people, you are the same age as my grandchildren and most of us will be either your grandparents or your parents age at the very least.

    Have you tried building up how far you walk SLOWLY? If you can walk 40 mins OK, try adding 5 mins to that for a few weeks,. If that is OK then add another 5 mins. And build up like that so the muscles get used to the extra without developing something called DOMS - delayed onset muscle soreness. If you then try to walk on top of DOMS the muscles can't heal again. That's all training is: you cause tiny tears in the muscles and then they heal, making them more resistant next time. But if you do it again too soon, the tears haven't healed and they get worse and never get a chance to heal. A bit like picking at a spot!!

    And you know - you are pretty underweight. Muscles need fuel, good quality fuel, not junk food. That is really important too.
