Question 1

Is it okay to exercise with muscle soreness?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. “Stick to light cardio or stretching, and listen to your body,” advises Dr. Goostree. “I recommend following a zero to 10 discomfort scale with zero being no discomfort at all and 10 being unbearable. Anything below a five is fine. But if you are very uncomfortable or experience significant pain, stop.”

Question 2

How long does it take for a sore muscle to heal?

Accepted Answer

“You should start to feel better within 48 to 72 hours,” says Dr. Goostree. If the pain doesn’t improve or gets worse, contact your doctor. Although rare, this could indicate rhabdomyolysis, a serious medical condition where damaged muscle tissue releases protein and electrolytes into your blood and can cause permanent heart and kidney damage. “It’s very, very rare, but we’ve seen it in very hardcore exercisers,” says Dr. Goostree.
