If you are able, consult a soft tissue medical professional in your area (physiotherapist). They’ll be able to do a more thorough diagnosis than your GP. There’s some significant discomfort that can occur if muscles develop tension and run on nerves, to oversimplify.
Getting ahead of it - chiropractic is a scam.
Thanks, I have an appointment scheduled in 2 weeks, but the pain is massive. Maybe I can expedite that a little bit.
If the doctor is right, then you're right about waiting for it to get better. If it's joints, then (as you can't train joints) you have to change something. If it's muscles, it should get better after several regular (once a week or more often) trainings - it will switch from sharper feeling to usual softer aching that you feel when your muscles are exhausted.
It's really nice that you consulted with a doctor - if you are not experienced, it's better to ask. It can be also useful to tell your trainer (or someone you train with, if there is) - maybe they will look closer at your technique
In most kinds of trainings or sports, it's always about "raising the ceiling" of exhaustion to the point where you don't usually reach it. If you can climb to 40th floor, you won't feel pain after 10. If you can stand in a plank for 5 minutes, you won't feel discomfort after a minute.
Just be careful and you can train up to the point where you will feel generally easier with your body, less tired after a normal day, and "good kind of tired" after an active, "sporty" day.
Thanks!
I'll try to find out what's wrong or if this is normal. Pain is really bad at the moment, but I guess it's nothing serious.
If it's sharp and in one place, and started at a certain moment, I would think of a trauma. If it came a day or two after and covers wider area, it's just your body not used to trainings and it won't reappear like that after a few trainings. I dropped gym and came back many times, and each time I felt "the punishment" for that :)
Edit: still, being in contact with a doctor is always nice. Don't go crazy about any negative feeling, but ignoring problems is always not great. Listen to yourself, but with a grain of doubt, because our bodies generally like to complain
