Are you asking why the joints feel like they’re difficult to move?

Clench your fist around an object like a marker for instance and hold it for a minute. It’ll have the same effect.

What’s going on is kind of like muscle fatigue, because it’s not your bones that are, “rusty” feeling rather the muscles and tendons themselves.
