This may be temporary, as you get more used to moving around.
If your muscles were not so sore before, and now you are more active, then they need to increase their metabolism to keep up.
If after a week or two you still have alot of pain, then you need to have the doctor help you with this...may be Fibro.
There are supplements to improve muscle function. One is acetyl carnitine. It increases burning fatty acids for energy, so the lactic acid build up is less. The lactic acid is what makes for the pain most of the time.
You can also try soaking in a bathtub with epsom salts, and that will help too. Use about 6-8 oz for a big tub, and don't use really HOT water...keep it lukewarm. Be careful getting out, as it gets slippery.
If you are low in B6, there might be muscle symptoms too. Pyridoxal is used by muscles for their metabolism.
Make sure you drink enough water during the day too.
