Is Severe Pain All Over The Body Post Physical Work A Cause For Concern?

My husband is experiencing severe pains all over his body...including headache. He can barely move and said he has not experienced such pain in his life. He is 48 years old. He did a lot of strenuous work yesterday and was sore last night and this morning when he was doing more physical work...it hit him all of a sudden and he had to lie down. Should we be concerned?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query your husband experiencing severe body pain after sternous physical activity is because of increased demand of oxygen by muscles of body. Due to inadequate oxygenation muscles got strained and causing pain.

Well this is a very normal occurence and need not to worry about it.

I woukd suggest you to give rest to muscles. Take adequate sleep. Take muscle relaxant and pain killer such as Ibuprofen.

Strech body properly before doing any physical activity when ever possible.

Do slight streching and yoga as well.

Visit physical tberapist nearby you if symptoms keeps on persisting.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
