I met two of my granddaughters today and walked around the shops. after a while the muscles in my legs and across my back tightened up as I was trying to stay calm and positive which I did manage to do 😊 but it felt uncomfortable, I Came home cooked dinner and washed up but it was an effort because now the tightness has worn off a little I feel weak. Can that happen after?

I have been dealing with the muscle tightness and tension for a few days now and can definitely say that I feel the muscle weakness also. When I walk, it almost feels like I am stumbling but I’m not. It’s just your mind playing tricks on you and your muscles are actually tired so don’t worry, it’s totally normal. I’m currently experiencing the tightness and sharp but weak pains in both calves. Taking ibuprofen helps. Just try and focus on relaxing. Distractions and walking helps too! I hope you feel better!
