You can feel really stiff after you stretch or feel some pain at first but once you stretch every day you get used to it and stretching and flexibility also helps your joints hope this helps

Your supposed to feel a little discomfort, because that is normal. Discomfort is mild only when you have been doing that same exercise for a while and because you are trying to stretch the muscle you need to slowly stretch the muscle in order to get the actin and myosin filaments at the proper length for optimum contraction. Bouncing while stretching causes quick pulls on the muscle making it less stretched than one that is slowly stretched.
