Using a sore muscle normally? (kbin.social)

Let's say that I feel a little pain after doing some exercise I don't normally do.
Is it okay to, say, walk normally instead of limping a bit with a minor pain in a leg, or does it make the muscle's condition worse?

It depends if you've injured yourself, you can generally tell when pain is from a workout and when it's from an injury

Generally you can ignore the acheyness and get on with your day, it will rarely impede you other than a little discomfort

That said, not a good idea to attempt to exercise that muscle again until the ache is gone
