Medical Conditions - Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain and discomfort in the muscles for 12 to 24 hours or even up to 72 hours after intense or unfamiliar physical activity. It is characterized by muscle stiffness, tenderness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. DOMS is believed to be primarily caused by tiny micro-tears in muscle fibers and the subsequent inflammation and repair processes in response to unaccustomed or strenuous exercise.
