Re: Health and Fitness Thread
assalamu alaykum
my leg muscles are KILLING me and I have no idea why. I didn't do any exercise. Apart from going down 10 flights of stairs? ahaha, do i not walk at all? They're like solid now. I need to make this pain go away - HOW?

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
You are experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness - muscle soreness that ensues after performing physical activity that you are unaccustomed to.
Just take it easy for a few days, and it will go away on its own. Some people feel massages, light stretching, hot baths etc., tends to temporarily alleviate symptoms, so I guess you could give those things a try.

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
Back in the game, Alhamdulilah. 
Yesterday, I restarted the couch to 5k program, which I attempted before and failed miserably at.  I suck at running. Today I did a little cardio and some weight training for the upper body. |

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
Oki, so NOW I know why my stomach hasn't been it's thinnest lately, why I've been getting sporadic sharp lower back/side pains, and the reason why for a couple of other things...my ovary is the size of an apple. 
I've been put on birth control to shrink the size of the cyst. The doctor will give it three weeks to get smaller. So for the next three weeks I've been instructed that I can't exercise, have intercourse, or any other strenuous activity that may rupture the cyst.
So I'm thinking-- oki, I won't do any vigorous exercise...but what exercises can I do? I can't not do anything for three weeks, I'll gain mucho weight and that will further compound problems, at least mentally. 
So any exercise ideas? Doctors of Islamica, can't I continue to walk on the treadmill?

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
You really should consult your doctor on specifically what kinds of exercises you can or cannot do.
Out of curiosity, do you experience any pain while walking/running?

With the exception of the sporadic sharp pains, no.

I had a very similar issue recently. You need to take it easy. Maybe do no-impact things like ride a recumbent bike or the elliptical at a lower incline. I wouldn't do ANYTHING which causes you even the slightest twinge. A burst cyst is NO FUN. Honestly, you can't gain so much weight in three weeks anyway - just be careful with your diet.
