Exercise is crucial if you have arthritis. But knowing just how much activity to do when youâre hurting can be tricky. After all, research has shown that moderate activity can help prevent the progression of arthritis and improve overall function. But while mild muscle soreness after a workout is normal, sharp pain during or immediately after can signal injury. And sometimes simply the fear of pain can keep you from wanting to do any kind of exercise at all. Hereâs how to determine when itâs OK to work through exercise pain â and when itâs not.
Yes, you should keep working out even though you are sore, but there is more to it than that. Muscle soreness has two primary causes. The first soreness you experience happens during your workout (the burn) and should subside within a couple of hours.This is caused by lactic acid production.. You absolutely must rest the muscles you worked for 1-2 days after a workout. Take at least one day off between strength training sessions, and if you are still very sore, take 2 days off.
