I was training in Judo and I injured my muscle on the left buttock pretty bad (a pretty bad muscle strain / pulled muscle).
It feels painful in the buttock when I walk or doing certain movements that involves that muscle.
I also noticed that in the first 3 days after the injury, I kept feeling fatigue / tired.
It is almost like when you have a cold, the body needs to fight the bacteria or virus, which consumes a lot of energy, and you feel fatigue.
Is it a similar situation in the case with muscle strain? Does the body consume a lot of nutrients and energy to heal the muscle, so much that I feel tired, fatigue, sleepy, difficult to concentrate at work, etc?
