Can working out too much cause muscle pain?

I'm 28 years old, and I work out at least 4 times a week. Recently I've been experiencing a lot of pain the day after working out. Can working out too much cause muscle pain?

Yes. It is like attempting to extract survival energy from exhausted (hypoxemic) muscles.
