What Causes Muscle Soreness After Prolonged Standing Or Sitting?
Hi, I have tough physical job that I have been doing for over 20years, I often wake up in the morning with sore muscle in the morning. However I am now finding that if I sit down for 20 minutes that sometimes they are already stiff and sore. What can I do to help with this?
It is just a muscle cramp arising after prolonged standing. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
Nothing much to worry as the symptoms will settle in a couple of days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
