The Bad Pain: Injuries
Whether you’re a regular gym-goer or a newbie, you can face more intense pain from a minor or serious injury through exercise. While muscle soreness is a healthy sign of muscle growth, persistent pain from an injury is a warning sign to rest and heal up. Here’s some of the tell-tale signs that you have a sports injury rather than muscle soreness:
- Sharp pain felt in the muscles or joints during and after exercise
- Lingering pain that does not go away after rest
- Joint or muscle pain that lasts longer than seven days
- Pain increases with movement
