Hello,
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
The symptoms you have mentioned suggest the possibility of muscle sore,which is quite common after strenuous exercise. It is due to dehydration and exhaustion of your lower limb muscles. No need to worry as it can be cured completely with supportive therapy.
MCTD(Mixed connective tissue disease) patients are more vulnerable to develop sore muscles.
You can do the following as a first line things:-
1.You can take simple analgesics like like "diclofenac" or "ibuprofen" for pain.
2.Immerse the affected area in cold water,you can also apply ice packs over that area.
3.Massage your sore spots thoroughly.
If the symptoms persist despite all these,you have to consult a general practitioner and get evaluated to rule out other conditions.

The following health tips can be tried to prevent the symptoms.
1.Have healthy diet and adequate sleep.
2.Drink plenty of water.
3.If you do gym training,hydrate before and after gym training.


Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.

Regards.
Dr.Shinas
