I am feeling muscle and joint pain after playing rugby. Is this normal?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• It is probably a muscle soreness due to sudden activities following prolonged inactivity. It usually takes a week to resolve without medicine.

• However, I suggest you tablet Ibuprofen 400 mg or Diclofenac 50 mg whenever needed up to two times a day along with some antacid like tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg before breakfast once a day for three days.

• I also suggest Diclofenac gel or spray for local application two times a day. Also, have hot water fomentation two to three times a day.

• If it responds in a day or two, then it is fine. Otherwise, you should visit a doctor for examination and x-ray lumber spine, anteroposterior and lateral view.
