The straining and overexerting of muscle tissue can cause the tissue itself to tear, causing a somewhat nagging soreness in the general area. Once the muscle repairs itself, the soreness will go away. Stretching, let's say before a physical workout, can elongate the muscle, improving its elasticity and making less prone to tearing. Sometimes, stretching itself can tear a muscle and make it sore. Stretching out a sore muscle can also increase the pain because the muscle has not had enough time to repair itself. >> The thing is that it's is in certain areas. Like my right thigh, my left calf and ankle my right shoulder and both my forearms, my right wrist and my neck. Also, I have had a sore throught for the past 3 days, but I don't know if that is related. >> If you don't usually strain those muscles, and you participate in a strenuous workout, then they will more than likely be sore for a few days. I started working on improving my abs recently. The first day I started, I only did 25 sit ups and my abs were sore for almost a week. It really doesn't matter if you're working out or not, any irregular usage of muscle can make it sore. Running, lifting, excercising, flagging down an airplane, etc. Though, if any heavy lifting was involved, or if the soreness persists for over a week, you may want to see your doctor to make sure you haven't done any permanent damage. The earlier you catch it, the better chance you have of repairing it.
