Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 29-year-old female, weighing 214 pounds, and have a height of 5 feet 4 inches. I am on Levlen (birth control) medication.
I attended a SoulCycle spin class for the first time (approximately 36 hours ago) and have been exercising (jogging, walking, and body weight resistance training for the past six months).
I have extreme muscle soreness in my quadriceps, trouble walking, and controlling my legs, especially on stairs, and pain bad enough to interrupt sleep.
I am unsure if it is DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), or is something more serious, or if I just need to wait for recovery?
Symptoms began almost immediately after the class and have not diminished since.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
In my opinion, what you experience seems to be DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) only.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Revert to me in case you need any further help in this regard.
Thank you and take care.
