My whole body hurts

Hi Dr, I just played futsal after a very long time and my whole body hurts. My friends who played with me seem pretty fine. Is this normal Dr for a 23 year old?

Hi thank you for your question. May I know how long do you play futsal? Do you experienced any injury during the session? Getting sore muscles a day or after the day after an intensive workout or physical exercise is normal, especially if you are starting on a new regime of sport or increasing your exercise intensity.

The delayed muscle pain and muscle ache are caused by tiny injuries or small muscle tear in the muscle fibre and connective tissue. The painful muscles that happen after a rigorous workout or playing futsal will usually decreases after 24 to 48 hours of getting rested. Me also experiencing the same problem where I used to play soccer or futsal three times a week for months.

I used to get pain esoecially on the calf and thigh muscles because we use them a lot in this kind of sport. But after a day of two of bed rest. Or else you can have a pre warm up session before every session that you play. But if the muscle pain does not go away after a few days of rest or even become more painful and increase in severity, it can be a sign that you have obtained a serious muscle tear or muscle injury.

Experiencing severe body pain during a sport could also be a sign that you have a muscle injury or muscle strain. If muscle ache is presents along with breathing difficulty, high temperature of body, muscle weakness and stiff neck, do meet a GP and have a further investigations and a proper management plan.
