so I’m a nurse and today was my 5th day on a row and I don’t understand why my legs hurt. I didn’t work harder today than other days, nor did I have to work with fat patients. I just had to walk a lot, but not much more than other days.

On my free time I like jogging and doing yoga, and right after I feel how my legs are looser and more relaxed. I however cannot go jogging every day. Today was my second day on a row not jogging.

Can this be the reason I’m in pain?

If running before my shifts actually helps me not to have pain after my shifts, how can that be? I’m basically using the same muscles.
