Sounds like you need to rest those muscles for at least 48 hrs. You could cause serious damage if you don't give them a chance to recover. Get some protien in there also!

Sounds like you are experiencing DOMS(delayed onset muscle soreness). Very common for an area that has not been worked for a long time. Sounds as if you may have slightly over done it, which is normal in the beginning "gung ho" state. Now work as hard on the recovery process, i.e. good diet (protein and good healthy complex carbs), vitamins and minerals. If you do anything tomorrow, do upper body only. Good luck...
