persistent soreness
Pain that stays
Persistent soreness is discomfort or tenderness that lingers rather than fading quickly—the kind that's still there when you wake up the next morning.
It often describes muscle pain after exercise or physical strain: I've had persistent soreness in my lower back for weeks.
The phrase emphasizes duration; the soreness won't go away on its own.
