Experiencing muscle pain or stiffness a day after exercise?
You might be dealing with Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) — a common and harmless post-exercise condition caused by tiny microtears in muscle fibers following unaccustomed or intense activity.
At Neuro Clinic, under the care of Dr. Shantanu Shubham (DM Neurology, NIMHANS Bangalore) we help you understand and differentiate DOMS from other causes of muscle pain such as strain, myofascial pain, or nerve-related issues.

Key insights: ✅ DOMS typically appears 12–24 hours after exercise ✅ Peaks around 48–72 hours and eases in 3–7 days ✅ Managed with rest, gentle stretching, warm compresses, and adequate hydration ✅ Seek medical advice if pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by weakness or dark urine
