How To Tell The Difference Between Being SORE And HURT

When working out, eventually this question will come up…“How to tell the difference between being sore and hurt?”

Here are a few ways I answer this question for myself and for clients.

First, asses what kind of pain it is. Is it dull and nagging? That’s usually a sign of soreness. Is it sharp and shooting? That generally could be a sign of an injury. I wouldn’t rely solely on this when deciding between soreness and injury, however.

Which brings me to point number 2, on a scale of 1-10, 1 being “I’m dead on the inside and don’t feel anything” and 10 being “Good God almighty, this is the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life,” if the pain is at a 5 or above for 2 weeks or more, it’s more likely not general soreness and I’d suggest seeing a doctor. The doctor will be able to do more testing to see if the injury is severe or not.
