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.
Muscle soreness occurs when you do an activity that is new for your body or push a little harder than usual. Called DOMS, or delayed onset muscle soreness, this discomfort shows up 48 to 72 hours post workout. Small tears in your muscle fibers are the likely culprit for your tender body.Whether you exercise while sore depends on the intensity of your discomfort, how hard you've been hitting the gym on a regular basis and the type of workout you plan to do.oreness that results from days of exercise without rest may call for a day off. Overtraining, a cluster of symptoms brought on by doing too much exercise too often, can lead to persistent soreness as well as decreased performance, changes in your heart rate and fatigue.
