Search Results: working out when sore

Thursday of last week (8 days ago), I did an intense leg work out. I was sore for the expected 3 days. But after the 3rd day, my strength didn't come back to 100. I did not feel stronger. I took a protein supplement after my leg workout and everyday after that, but I'm still feeling a lingering pain in my thighs. Yesterday I could barely pull 30 squats (free weight). I tried working out again today, but I still feel that lingering sore pain. I'm also feeling a little weaker in my arms too, I worked them out last Friday, but it was only 30 push ups.

I should also add that during my recovery period, I caught a bad cold. Since I'm in haiti right now, there's a possibility I may even have Chikunguya, a sickness transmitted by mosquito bite that causes fever and aching muscular pain throughout the whole body.

My parents tell me that I'm currently functioning too well and not in enough pain to have caught Chikunguya. They had it and could barely lift their legs up.

So do you guys think I over trained and just need more rest? Or I caught Chikunguya and it's simply the early symptoms?
