Why is it that when we fall we don’t feel the pain the entire day and then after we sleep it feels like we’ve been run over by a tractor?

Whenever I play rugby, nothing hurts after the game, but whenever I wake up the next day, I feel like everything hurts and it also feels like I’m frozen in certain parts where my limbs are attached to my body, they are just hard to move. I know that adrenalin plays a big part, but it isn’t the only thing because it can’t last for so long.

Depending on the nature of the injury, the body’s inflammatory response can take time to build up around affected areas. A bee sting might swell up quickly. Fatigued or injured muscles & tendons can take a day or two before there’s noticeable flare-up & stiffening.
