What Causes Pain In The Lower Leg Post Workout?

For the past couple of days I have had moderate pain on the inside left leg below my knee including my calf muscle. 2 weeks ago I did move and did some heavy lifting and about 5 days ago I awoke with a Charlie Horse . The pain from the Charlie Horse went away within a few minutes after massaging my leg. I didn t notice any lower leg pain after my moving until now and my other leg feels fine. Is this something to worry about? I am not taking any medication for the pain and only notice the pain when I touch that part of my leg. Thank you. My email address is YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

That's the natural phenomenon, if you do sudden heavy exercise which body is not used to then definitely body will pain.

It will definitely improve with time. the area which is tender to touch is due to muscle soreness. it will improve.

Next time start with a gradual increase of exercises and not on the first time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
