Has this happened to anyone else--one day my muscles just all became really tight and seemingly permanently at risk of pulling? It is driving me crazy
The facts:
1. Formerly fairly successful D1 HS and College runner
2. Ran to stay in shape but sprained ankle badly 2 years ago
3. Came back slowly with lots of stretching, but pulled a calf almost every time I tried running again
4. Continued stretching a lot, then began injuring my groin all the time--could be playing soccer, could be getting into a car, didn't matter, they would pop at random times under what felt like very little strain. Apparently, I tore both labrums, but I don't understand why they still pop and then are incredibly sore for weeks with no activity
5. I've focused on stretching a lot and mostly do low impact exercises like cycling, but my muscles still pull all the time. A calf muscle pull on a run, a groin muscle pull holding a door open with my foot, I somehow even just strained a muscle in my face. My muscles just feel like they are always on the edge of getting strained--like a real and proper strain that requires weeks of no activity and stretching. It happens all the time and it feels like I can't do anything to protect them
6. I pulled a muscle (or did something) to my back/upper neck a year ago and haven't been able to sleep well since
This issue came on so suddenly that it almost seems like some sort of deficiency or disease. The few doctors I have seen have no idea what's wrong with me, but MRIs show these are real muscle strains. Does anyone have any idea? Thank you!
