Muscular System – Why Do My Muscles Feel Weak and Sore All the Time? - #15967
For the past year, I have been experiencing a strange issue with my muscular system. My muscles feel weak, sore, and fatigued almost all the time, even though I haven’t changed my daily routine significantly. I used to be an active person—I would go on walks, do yoga, and even lift light weights at home. But now, even the simplest activities, like climbing the stairs or carrying a small bag of groceries, feel like a struggle. I first thought this might be due to lack of exercise, so I tried to be more active. But oddly enough, the more I exercised, the worse my muscles felt. Instead of feeling stronger, I started waking up with intense stiffness in my arms and legs. My muscular system would feel exhausted, as if I had just run a marathon, even though I only did light stretching the day before. In addition to muscle weakness, I have been experiencing random muscle twitching. Sometimes my legs or arms twitch when I’m resting, and it feels completely out of my control. I read that muscle twitching can be related to dehydration, nerve issues, or even deficiencies in minerals like magnesium and potassium. Could this be affecting my muscular system? My diet is not the best—I tend to skip meals and eat a lot of processed foods. Could poor nutrition be making my muscular system weaker? I also don’t take any supplements, and I don’t get much sunlight, so I might be lacking important vitamins. Could a deficiency in vitamin D or B12 be contributing to this problem? I started researching Ayurvedic approaches to muscle health, and I found that certain herbs and oils are known to strengthen the muscular system. But I’m not sure where to start. Are there specific Ayurvedic remedies that can help restore muscle strength and prevent fatigue? Also, are there Ayurvedic massages or external applications that can help improve circulation and muscle recovery? Another concern I have is that my muscle pain lasts longer than usual after any physical activity. I heard that Ayurveda has special detox treatments to remove toxins that accumulate in the muscular system. Would something like Panchakarma help in my case? I’m also curious if there are specific foods I should be eating to improve my muscular system naturally. Should I include more protein, or are there plant-based Ayurvedic options that work just as well? Has anyone here experienced similar muscle weakness and soreness that lasted for months? If so, what worked for you? I want to avoid taking painkillers or synthetic supplements—I’m looking for a long-term, natural solution. Any advice on how to strengthen my muscular system using Ayurveda would be greatly appreciated.
