Muscle pain after exercise getting worse?

Posted , 2 users are following.

In the past I used to have the regular muscle pain after overuse, nothing too bad and only when I moved. Now, since about 3 years ago when I was 18 I stopped regularly exercising, and it was almost a year after that, that I moved around enough to get muscle pain, but it was a lot worse. Ever since then it hurts differently. I can't really explain, but imagine normal muscle pain paired with strong, sharp pain. Also, after I move, it takes a long time(depends on how much exercise I did, and how much I moved now, but if it's really bad, it can even take 1 minute) before the pain disappears and it hurts so bad, I'm near tears.

What I would like to know, if this is normal/age/lifestyle related or if it's some kind of condition? Also, how can I effectively reduce the pain?

Thanks for the answers in advance.
