German term or phrase: Muskelkater
"Lumbago, Muskelspasmen nach Überanstrengung (Wadenkrämpfe, Muskelkater), traumatische Ereignisse wie Frakturen, prä- und postoperative Maßnahmen, Luxationen, Verstauchungen, Quetschungen und Zerrungen, Unterstützung physikalischer Therepie-Maßnahmen in der Chiropraxis, Singultus, Torticollis spasticus, extrapyramidaler Rigor. spastische Paresen bei Pyramidenbahnläsionen."

Some more areas of application claimed for a drug. I'm utterly stumped by "Muskelkater". "Muscle hangover" doesn't make any sense. TIA for any light you can shed on it.

Thank you all very much for your help. The solution has become clear pretty quickly, which I love. I like "muscle soreness" best, so will give the points to Cécile. But "muscle aches" would probably work quite well, so I'll pop that in the glossary. Thanks again for your help - much appreciated.
