A member asked:

What can be done to prevent my joints from getting stiff and painful after strength training?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Massage: Massage helps. High protein diet helps to heal muscles damaged from exercise. This is normal damage that occurs so not to worry. Warm up and cool down with exercise routine may help.
