If you are out of shape, which we are, you will always have a small degree of pain the next day after working out. Extreme pain is a problem but some pain means you are building muscle. At least that has been my experience.

Yes that's generally true, except the exercise was very light and the pain was in the soft tissue near joints rather than the larger arm muscles I was aiming to affect. I've not yet tried working muscles hard enough to get normal muscle-building aches. Maybe starting on leg muscles rather than arms might be better as my legs are less affected by PMR.
