Does muscle soreness at rest always indicate injury, or can DOMs hurt at rest as well? I have general soreness in my quads and buttocks that persists even when I'm lying down, following a couple of sets of deep squats I did two days ago. I recently changed my form to work my muscles harder by going all the way down, and by doing the squats very slowly. I would not call the pain severe, but it is annoying.
What I read about the subject online told me that pain at rest is generally more indicative of an injury, but if I press on my quads or buttocks it does not hurt at all. If I get up and walk around, it actually feels better while I am walking. I can move my leg in any direction without any kind of sharp pain. Ex, bringing my knee to my chest, going into a butterfly stretch, or bringing my leg back causes no pain. I have found no motion that causes pain.
