I started playing badminton again after a long time and am experiencing leg and shoulder pain, along with quick fatigue and low energy. What medicines or supplements should I take to relieve the pain and boost my stamina?
It is common to experience muscle soreness (DOMS) and fatigue when restarting sports. For immediate pain relief, you can use an over-the-counter NSAID like Ibuprofen or apply a topical diclofenac gel to your shoulders and legs. To boost stamina and aid muscle recovery, consider taking a daily B-complex vitamin for energy metabolism, Vitamin D3, and Magnesium to reduce muscle cramps. Hydrate well with electrolyte fluids during games, and consume adequate protein post-workout. Ensure you warm up properly and gradually build your stamina rather than overexerting. If pain persists, consult a physician.
