I went to a concert in June. I can't remember the exact times. I think the doors opened for 7.30 pm. Support act at 8. Main act at 9. I went to the venue for 7.15. I was standing all night. I was right in front of the stage. The gig finished for approx 11. I was right in front of the stage singing, jumping and dancing. I tolerated that night well.
I'm not in the UK where I presume many events are cancelled due to the Queen passing (may she rest in peace).
I was at a concert at the weekend. I had to get up early to travel. Then I did a lot of walking to get to the stadium. I was on time because I wanted to get into the pit. I was in front of the stage from about 5.15. I spent the whole night singing and dancing and jumping up and down. The gig finished for 10. Then I did more walking to get back into the city. By the time I got home it was very late. It was 4am. I was on the go since 8am. I struggled to get into bed because my body was sore.
The next day when I woke, I was so so so sore. My whole body - legs, back chest, shoulders.
I am addressing this pain through paracetamol and fluids but I am still not right.
Is it normal to feel so sore after a gig. I checked my phone and it said I did 38,000 steps that day. I don't usually get that much. My daily average is about 13000 but sometimes more.
Would my body be sore because of that? Or should I be considering something else at this stage. Like maybe covid. The concert would not have been the exposure because it wouldn't come on that quick. I don't know where else I would have got an exposure last week.
