No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I think stretching might help, but running seems counter intuitive. But hey, you're the nurse, you prolly know better than me.
Running is different than walking, kinesthetically. I've had lower body injuries where walking was painful, but running wasn't, docs weren't at all surprised, expected it actually.
Also you're getting everything moving by running. Exercise like this (using the large muscles) also triggers a hormonal shift (I forget the details), and you're triggering some anti-inflammatory processes.
I've found myself much less sore from walking after starting to swim regularly, maybe that would help
Before or after, whatever works for your life. The overall lifestyle is what is important. Try to be consistent. Honestly I think you might need to focus on muscle growth, do some squats. If you can stress your legs and posterior chain of muscles more in a controlled environment then when you are in the real world it shouldn't be as painful. You don't have to go crazy with the weight but you should be tired after doing something like 3 sets of 10. Your muscles will grow and your normal work day won't seem that strenuous.
If you like running, try to focus on sprints and interval training. The point is causing your muscles stress in a manner that they will grow back strong. Distance running is good for cardio, but the muscles don't pump or get as strong when doing distance. Compare marathon bodies to sprinters.
Exercise is known to reduce inflammation. Maybe you have some inflammatory (t)issues? Maybe your immune system attacking something? I'm not a doctor, so this is not medical advice.
