Comments on: Lactic Acid Build Up: How To Remove It And Avoid Pain http://www.realmusclebuilding.com/2008/05/21/lactic-acid-build-up-how-to-remove-it-and-avoid-pain/ Real In Every Sense Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:31:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Mr. X http://www.realmusclebuilding.com/2008/05/21/lactic-acid-build-up-how-to-remove-it-and-avoid-pain/#comment-1252 Mr. X Sat, 22 Nov 2008 15:03:40 +0000 http://www.realmusclebuilding.com/?p=53#comment-1252 Mardi, I really would have no clue what your pain is, and it would probably take a doctor to work it out. I don't know what your 'active life' entails. It could be a specific activity (i.e. hoovering daily, hunched over for example?) which causes the pain in the hip. But again, that's only a guess. It sounds like it may be some kind of muscular tension rather than DOMS or Lactic acid - which really only occur after strenuous exercise. My best guess would be maybe you are experiencing some kind of nerve/muscle spasm - I experienced this in the back of my shoulder for months on end once (I still get it from time to time in the same spot) and it's extremely painful, and it also feels like burning. If your pain is persistent and causing you a lot of discomfort, I suggest you visit your doctor. All the best. Mardi,

I have articles on this site about them. Calve training is strenuous, so eliminating all post-workout pain is impossible... the best you can hope to do is minimise it. The dull pain felt in the calves is either lactic acid build up, or is DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness - thought to be caused by temporary expansion of the muscle fibres inside the fascia causing nerve pain and slightly obstructed movement). The best you an do post-workout is to massage your calves, stretch them, drink plenty of water and just try to keep them moving a little in the following days (as well as continued stretching, etc) to prevent them from siezing up.

Though I do not do strenuous or aerobic exercise I would say I lead a active life. I tend to get burning pain in different points in my shoulder blade area/ tips of the shoulder blades and around the hip joint just above my buttocks. These pains are not in the joints but in the muscles and are very painful. So far the only way to get rid of them is by massaging them out - (which is also very painful at the time but does bring relief eventually once the tenderness subsides). Is there some kind of supplement (that my body is missing) that could be taken to avoid these symptoms?

I'm no racehorse, but lactic acid has caused me such severe pain in my calve muscles before that I could barely walk. I'm sure this wouldn't have happened if I'd have taken proper measures to reduce lactic acid build up and remove the leftovers in the hours and days that followed. What I did notice is, when I was active - walking or jogging, say - the pain would go and the muscles would loosen up - but the pain would return again once I stopped. Of course, not all pain felt can be attributable to lactic acid, but DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). While nobody knows precisely what causes DOMS, it's thought to be a temporary inflamation where the muscle fibres swell and press against the fascia causing nerve pain. Hello Cameron,

I know that lactic acid does cause unfit race horses to "tie up" somestimes to the point that they can't walk. Can you show me the proof?
