Right thigh muscle soreness

If you have sore muscles in your right thigh, you should rest in bed more and avoid frequent exercise. Otherwise, the pain will become more and more severe. This is actually a very common physiological phenomenon. As long as the condition is not so serious, you don't need to do anything. Just pay more attention to rest and don't overwork yourself.

Because of strenuous exercise or other reasons, the muscles in the body perform anaerobic exercise. The so-called anaerobic exercise refers to the high-speed and intense exercise of muscles in an "oxygen-deficient" state. For example, running, weightlifting, throwing, high jump, long jump, tug of war, strength training, etc. Due to the excessive speed and explosive power, the sugar in the human body does not have time to be decomposed by oxygen and has to rely on "anaerobic energy supply". This type of exercise will produce too much lactic acid in the body, causing muscle fatigue that cannot last long and muscle soreness after exercise.

In sports medicine, exercise-induced muscle soreness is divided into two types: one is pain that occurs immediately after exercise but disappears quickly, which is called acute muscle soreness. The other type occurs a few hours or overnight after exercise, accompanied by fatigue, and even muscle cramps and stiffness. This type of muscle pain disappears slowly and is called delayed onset muscle soreness or post-exercise fatigue. You may be experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness.

Muscle soreness is a normal physiological phenomenon. People often experience obvious muscle soreness and discomfort after strength training or an exercise that they are not used to (high intensity or new sport). These symptoms will naturally disappear after a period of rest. When you do the same exercise again, the muscle soreness symptoms will be significantly reduced or will not occur.

However, muscle strain caused by exercise is different. Muscle or ligament strain can cause large-area pathological changes in skeletal muscle, such as cell degeneration and cell necrosis, which must be solved by medical means.

Muscle soreness can be relieved in several ways:

Stretching and stretching the muscles can accelerate muscle relaxation and help the recovery of spasmed muscles. Perform static stretching exercises on the sore area, maintain the stretch for 2 minutes, then rest for 1 minute, and repeat. Doing this stretch several times a day can help relieve cramps.

Massage the sore area to relax the muscles, promote muscle blood circulation, and help repair injuries and relieve spasms.

Applying hot compress to the sore local muscles can promote blood circulation, improve metabolism, and accelerate the relief and recovery of muscle soreness. Especially when combined with proper stretching exercises or massage, it can speed up the elimination of delayed muscle soreness and promote its recovery to normal.
