What can I do about DOMS?

Seems more likely that it's just normal muscle soreness after lifting heavy weights.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't have a medical condition. If I don't push myself to lift as much as I can I don't suffer from DOMS much at all, I'm sure the pain is just coming naturally from the muscle tearing microscopicly.

In my post I used the words 'moderate' and 'usual'. If you exercise hard you can expect to be a bit sore afterwards but it the exercise was 'normal' exercise and there was unusual soreness - get it checked.

 

About 3 years ago I began to experience sore muscles after walking 5 miles or so. - The muscles were sore after the walk and they were still sore the next day. I ordinarily walk rather more than 5 miles so the pain was occurring after less than usual amounts of exercise.

 

I had a blood test and it was indeed rhabdo. - I was taking simvastatin at the time and it's a known side effect.
