Exercise Symptoms: When we are involved in a regimen of muscle exercises, particularly isometric and weight training, our muscles bulk up and have a positive effect on improving blood flow and hence circulation, in the area. When we stop these exercises, the muscles lose some of their bulk as well as the salubrious effect on circulation. Your symptoms should gradually ameliorate with time; if not, consult your md.
