chronic soreness
Lingering muscle pain
Chronic soreness is persistent muscle or joint discomfort that lingers beyond normal recovery time—weeks, months, or indefinitely.
Unlike acute soreness from a single workout, chronic soreness suggests ongoing strain, overuse, or underlying condition: The chronic soreness in my shoulders finally sent me to a physical therapist.
Athletes and manual laborers often develop chronic soreness in heavily used body parts.
