Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

During exercise, due to the stress that builds up on the muscles, the muscles fibers tend to break down & repair themselves. As a result they become larger and stronger than before.

At times it might cause damage to the muscle fibres leading to muscle soreness or stiffness.Your complaint of leg pain while doing your routine works might be due to overstrain.

I advice you to give a break of 1 to 2 days & rest yourself so that you allow the legs & sore muscles to heal.
Also hydrate urself nicely during & after exercise .

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

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
