Get your EKG done.  Surely not a muscle sore, as the pain would have been of  a continuous type and more with further exertion.  Although the pain you describe does not conform to an anginal pain, it would be in your interest to get the EKG done so as to rule out this problem and cut down on your weight and start doing aerobic exercises regularly.

All forms of myositis involve inflammation that develops within muscle tissues, most commonly the hips or shoulders. Rarely, muscle inflammation occurs in a single part of the body, such as one arm, one leg or just musclesthat move the eye. The muscle inflammationalmost always causes weakness. Sometimes warmth, swelling and pain of the muscles can occur.\nThe most common form of myositis ispolymyositis (poly means many). Muscle inflammation develops in both arms and legs.The form of myositis called dermatomyositis(dermato means skin) is associated with askin rash. This rash usually is found over the knuckles in the hands and around the eyes. However, in some people, rashes occur onother parts of the body.

Most likely because your body is still growing, and that growth causes pain in muscles and all over at times. There are times I remember when I would have all kinds of pain even though I had not done any exercise, and when I visited the doctor she said it was growth.

try to exercise.  Maybe you've pulled a muscle or strained one without realizing it.  Just walking should work out any problems.

Do you mean muscle cramp?  If so, it's usually an electrolyte imbalance, caused by sweating too much during exercise without replenishing electrolytes.  A good energy drink, taken regularly during exercise, should help avoid it.

it is a pain in your lower back that's a little bit sharper than a regular muscle ache- almost like a burning.  it will also feel like it's deeper in your body than a muscle ache (obviously).  the symptom is the pain.  drink lots of water and fruit juice (expecially cranberry) until you can seea doctor.

It may be torn muscle. That can come from overworking.\n\nIt may also be nerve impingement. If the pain is really sharp, burning kind of sensation, or you get any associated numbness or tingling, that points to inpingement.\n\nEither way, you can talk to your doctor or a massage therapist. They'll be able to do a hands on assessment and tell you whats goin on.

The causes of back pain can be mechanical, meaning from your bones, muscles, or joints, or it could be organic in nature.  That means that the pain is being caused by something more internal that is referring pain to the back.  Kidney infection, or stones will commonly refer pain to the back.  One simple way to help determine if the pain is more mechanical in nature is to see if you can find a comfortable position to get into.  If you can, then the pain is probably from an injury to your spinal joints or a sprained muscle.  Did you notice anything that might have caused a sprained back?  For example heavy lifting.  Disc hernitations are common and can cause serious back pain.  You can not see a disc herniation on an x-ray.  You need an MRI for that.  If you went to the hospital, assuming the ER, they are concerned mostly about a fracture or other serious pathology.  \nIf you have a primary doctor go see him or her.  You can also seek out a chiropractor.  Either will help you understand the cause of your pain.

I don't know...but I have had that situation several times. Normally from doing some different activity. For instance, when I moved at work I thought it would be a good idea (fitness wise) to use the steps more, visiting my friends four floors up. Well, I must have done that 5 times that day, walking up and down the stairs which I had not been doing.\n\nThe next two days my thighs and calves tightened up, hurt like all get out. So maybe this kind of activity started your pains.
