A member asked:
Is it normal to have stiff muscles after beind bedridden and starting to get back to moving around more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stiffness: This is not unusual although less of a tendency in your age group. Some of the stiffness can also occur in joints and ligaments as well as muscles. I wouldn't worry about it if you loosen up very quickly after moving about. If symptoms are severe, consult a rheumatologist for evaluation.
