Based on your answers, your discomfort sounds like typical post‑play soreness. That’s common for players of all ages, especially if you’ve increased your playing time, intensity, or competition level.
Normal soreness usually improves with:
- Light stretching
- Gentle mobility work
- Ice or heat
- A day or two of rest
- Gradual return to play
Still, it’s important to listen to your body. If your pain starts lasting longer, becomes sharper, or begins affecting your movement, it may be time to check in with a physical therapist.
