Muscle fatigue: DOMS delayed onset muscle soreness is a result of the muscle fibers being stretched out more than they are used to. The effect of this is often felt 24-72 hours later, thus the term delayed. Inflammation in response to this stress on the muscle fingers gives pain and pain makes you feel weaker, You are not really weaker just it hurts to do things.
