Sore muscles are usually not a major medical concern and will heal on their own with rest. However, under certain conditions, you should see a doctor for evaluation.  You should go to the ER if sore muscles are accompanied by trouble breathing, dizziness, extreme muscle weakness, or a high fever and stiff neck.  If you have a tick bite or rash accompanied by sore muscles, see your doctor for evaluation.  Soreness around the calves after exercise should be evaluated by your doctor.  Signs of infection around a sore muscle, like redness or swelling, should be looked at by a doctor. If your muscles suddenly became sore after you started taking a new medication, talk to your doctor.  Any muscle soreness that lasts longer than a week should be evaluated by a doctor. If you think your muscle soreness requires medical attention, make an appointment with your physician. He or she should be able to evaluate your muscle pain and make a plan for treatment.  At your appointment, your doctor will ask you a variety of questions regarding your pain. He or she will want to know when your pain started, how long it's lasted, its location, any medications you're taking, and whether you have any other symptoms.  Depending on your medical history, your doctor may order certain tests. He or she may want to do x-rays, a blood count, or other blood tests. This can help check for certain medical conditions that can cause sore muscles. Therapeutic deep-tissue massage can help relieve muscle soreness, especially if it's done after you exercise. If you have consistent muscle soreness, talk to your doctor about the possibility of a medical massage referral. Often, insurance companies will cover medical massage if it treats a medical condition. If your sore muscles are the result of an injury, your doctor may recommend physical therapy. The type and duration of physical depend on your current health, medical history, and the specific cause of your muscle soreness. Your doctor should be able to provide you with a referral to a physical therapist.
