Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good morning from the UK! I did my first high intensive workout yesterday, called Tabata. I woke up yesterday with soreness in my thighs which has now seized up and is making walking painful and difficult. The ache is also making its way down to my kneecaps. Is there anything you can recommend to help recovery, like stretching techniques to help the muscles or an over the counter solution? Thanks, Will
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Soreness in the thighs may be due to Hypokalemia or anemia, neuropathy or myalgia etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet Tramadol and Paracetamol twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
