Hi
@Rosalita
I know recovery can be difficult to navigate but these are early days and the pain after you stop and try to rest is most certainly from the exercises.
Even Too Much walking at this juncture can cause unnecessary discomfort.
Interesting how many muscles are used in walking -
the “quads” ie, rectus femoris, vastus medialis and vastus lateralis,
sartorius, which runs from the hip to the inside of the knee,
gracilis, inside the leg,
hamstrings ie, the muscles at the back of the leg comprising biceps femoris, semimembranosus and semitendinosus,
iliopsoas in the hips,
shin muscles ie, tibialis, peroneus longus, and calves ie, gastrocnemius, and soleus
pectineus,
gluteus medius and maximus.
The glutes propel your leg forward. As you step forward, your tibialis and flexor digitorum longus flex your foot upwards. The back leg engages your gastrocnemius and soleus in the lower leg, and the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles in the upper leg.
The iliopsoas, rectus femoris and sartorius muscles are responsible for flexing the leg.
The gluteus maximus, semimembranous, semitendinosus and biceps femoris are responsible for extending the leg.
The gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and the deep gluteals are responsible for abducting (moving towards the centre) the leg.
The adductors longus, brevis and magnus, pectineus and gracillis are responsible for adducting (moving away from the centre) the leg.
The biceps femoris, gluteus maximus, gluteus minimus, semitendinosus and semimembranosus and the deep gluteals are responsible for rotating the leg.
Wow!
