What Causes Stiffness Of Muscles In Body After Exercising?
No it is not Stiff-person syndrome.
Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
No, this isn't a stiff-man syndrome. In stiff man syndrome the disease starts progressively and takes over a course of time to appear clinically. That has an altogether different presentation and underlying neurological causes. In stiff man syndrome there starts the truncal muscles deformity and spasms first not the ones affected in you. So, forget about that.
Now I want to come to your specific condition. It may be due to many reasons. The exercise is the worst thing for your body if done in a wrong way,in a wrong posture and with an illogical technique that doesn't match the normal anatomical allowance of the body flexibility and postures.
Every exercise is very wisely devised and isn't good for everyone. You are in high need of an instructor for doing a workout. I suggest you to hire workout trainer once you get cured from this episode of stiffness.
On your next regular visit to your primary care physician, ask him to do your complete blood count with differentials. You may also discuss the results with me, or simply consult the your doctor office in person. I am always here to help you.
Stop exercising at your own as you need a physical therapy to relieve the tension in muscles right now and to get relaxed. Make an appointment for that. You may also take over the counter pain and skeletal muscle relaxant along with physical therapy. And once got better do exercise under strict guidance of an instructor.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. If satisfied, please close the discussion and give a five star rating.
Regards!
