My muscles get sore and stiff really easy

[EugeneTheSage]

there was a period when I ate a lot of fast food, played a lot of video games, and wasn't exercising enough. I've ruined my health and now I'm very fragile. When I eat a bit of dairy (it could be one camembert cheese) within 5 hours I have inflammation in my muscles: they become stiff, they itch from within, and they become hard. This is true for the following muscles: calves, right thigh, right hamstring, right forearm (all of them), neck muscles, and scalenous muscles. If feels unpleasant to stretch them. Because the neck and masseters (chewing muscles) are affected they cause the headache and prevent me from falling asleep. When I work a lot on the computer I feel pain in my fingers - It disrupts my work a lot. I've tried to massage them, and it helps, but then I eat some more dairy and it returns and I'm tired of massaging it because I need to massage and stretch them all: calves, thighs, hamstrings, neck muscles, hands.

My theory is that when I eat healthy I still have a lot of toxins in my body because I don't move a lot - my barrel of toxins is almost full, and when I eat dairy it overflows and the inflammation happens. I think that I need a prolonged period of intense physical activity (full day) to work it out (because I'm a computer worker).

Also, I exercise and it makes my forearm biceps and pectoral muscles stiff - it makes it very hard to do Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya. That's a big loss because Shambhvi is a very powerful energy practice. No matter how strong I massage the pecs and biceps they remain stiff.

While I was writing this the conclusion came to my mind: the muscles that are affected are mostly those that I use the most: my arm for the mouse, neck muscles get tense when I work on PC.
What I think could help me: 

• work less on PC (but unfortunately it means that I should drop my passion - 3D modeling)
• more physical activity in general - it helps activate the lymphatic system and purify my body from salt deposits
  • buy infrastructure for that: a bike, a tent, a hiking backpack, 
• learn angamardana - a yogic physical practice that gives the body the movement it needs but doesn't create stiffness in the muscles

What are your suggestions guys?

Ive never experienced this so i dont know the exact answer but you can try experimenting with different supplements to see if that has a relaxing effect on the muscle like the electrolytes: magnesium, Sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, phosphate.

When I was on vacation and in the ocean a lot I noticed how it greatly relaxed my body and released a lot of muscle tension which makes sense because you’re no longer under the force of gravity . You can play around with it and move your body in different ways underwater even massaging when you’re in water because the muscles are already a bit more relaxed so it’s easier. There is a lot of potential there. Just a tip

Update

My condition really improved after few 36hour fasts done each saturday. My muscles became very soft.

Why do you keep eating dairy?

Great question. But he did an update and has seen improvements from fasting, which I assume from dairy, so maybe he'll get it.

Either it's a nocebo effect (or something that comes from another food but which you attribute to cheese) or it's an intolerance, probably to casein.

Dairy products from Jersey cows for example are much less immunogenic, but if you are sensitive it is best to simply remove dairy products or at least those from cows.
Goat's milk is on average about 10 times less immunogenic than cow's milk, from what i remember.

   Try to convert and do more isometrics exercises instead of other modern day fitness programs.

Because I live in house with my grandma and she does delicious goat cheese. Sometimes, when I'm out of healthy option I eat it.

 

Reply to the quote below:

Man, the correlation is unquestionable. I felt the negative effects of diary within a few hours. Now that I purified my body a bit by fasts I feel less effects after eating diary, so I need to eat more of it to feel the same adverse effects.
