Sounds like DOMS.

In which case, try doing a bit of walking style Cardio, not much, just 5-10 minutes light stuff, and some stretching, both after weights, to cut it down.

Yes, but you could do that on a Treadmill, or walk home, if you live near to your Gym, then stretch.

I just said walking Cardio, as opposed ot something like Sprints, or Interval etc etc, which wouldn't be necessary, unless you only have the ability to do Cardio sessions after a weights session.
