Been running my ass off, Pushing myself really hard. I'm obviously out of shape, but god fucking damn. My legs have never hurt this bad after a run. I came home from a run, cleaned up, and went to bed. Just like normal, but when I woke up my leg muscles are like... Unusable. I can hardly sit, or stand up. When I went to get out of bed I almost couldn't do it from the pain in my legs. I went ahead and ran again tonight, Thinking it might help, (walking it off) as they say, and where as I had no problem when I was out moving... Now that I've been sitting again, I'm back where I was. I can barely stand up, or sit back down. God forbid I drop something and have to bend down to get it...

TLDR: How can I make it so I can sit down on the toilet without my legs yelling at me?

pic related. its the face i make when im trying to sit down or stand up.

I'm fine. It's just obnoxious and I'm wondering if there is something I can do it lessen its intensity. Diet, stretching, fuckin anything. I have shit to do and hobbling around like a cripple is fucking annoying.

Hot showers, sauna, anything that warms it up will help a bit. Running made it felt better because it heated up your body but if you overdo it you'll just injure it worst.

I figured. I've always hated running, and I usually stick to upper body/core exercise. I throw in 2 miles in under 17 minutes 3 times a week, but I've been pushing myself to do at least 5 miles from now on to build up my endurance. I've never had any kind of muscle pain like this, and I didn't know if I should just work through it. If stretching will help at all, or if I just have to deal with it and wait it out.

if another one of you puny faggots tells me to man up again, i'll kick your throat in through the keyboard. make an actual suggestion, or say "there is nothing that can be done." thank you, you fucking noodle armed choirboy.

You've pretty much gotta wait it out. I remember one time when I came back from an injury and decided to do my regular workout. I literally couldn't extend my arms or legs for about a week.

Oi. Thats how it is with my legs right now. If I try to do anything slowly, It's just awful. I basically have to make a concentrated effort to stand and sit quickly or It's just like grinding my leg muscles down a cheese grater. At least if I do it quickly it's only a quick burst of pain. Heh.

Its kind of hard not to when you are being such an outrageous pussy. Try not being a bitch, and come back and tell us how that worked out for you.

Yeah, my sympathy. You've just gotta sit tight. But the good news is, once it's gone, you're pretty much right to work as hard as you want.

go for a long walk, or preferably biking. Very low pace 30-60 minutes to get that shit out of your muscles. After that do some stretching for a while. Stretching might not help the pain but at least your muscles won't stiffen up as badly.

When you get out of bed, stretch. Find out what muscle group it is and check the web for stretches for that part. It will hurt, but not as bad afterwards. After a little while, the stretched pain sensation can even feel good. Also try it after a hot shower when your muscles are loose.

Creams like 'tiger-balm',, or maybe Dengay rub will help somewhat. Creams that have a burning sensation when rubbed into muscles.

Muscle pain means you're working hard enough. Don't worry about it.

1. Run less and ease in to this new routine.
2. Place your legs in a ice water bath immediately after long runs for 10 minutes to prevent swelling.
3. Consume a ratio of 3:1 carbs to protein within an hour after running to accelerate recovery.
4. Make sure you have the correct shoes taking into consideration the arch on your feet and how balanced you are when running.
