Help me decide: Go to the gym today, or not?

Pro: I have the time, I have the gear with me, I want to get back on track.
Con: Muscles still sore from Saturday's exercises, can barely get out of my chair without pushing off with my hands, there is much wincing, even walking is painful.

Next planned gym-day is Thursday.

Go, or not?

ETA: Thank you all for your advice. I took a one-hour walk on Tuesday evening, had a hot shower with spicy chocolate shower gel, and spent the rest of the evening on the sofa with a pot of tea and my cats, who were happy to have a warm human to sprawl on. Wednesday, I could get out of my chair with barely any pain, and today I was back at the gym and there was actual progress.

(little) squats for the first time in months!

Yay. After struggling with knee pain since August, I have had to take the past couple of weeks almost completely off from working out at all; it's the busiest time of year for me, and also the chronic daily headache was really hard to deal with for some of the time. Two weeks of rest really helped; Saturday I was able to do reverse lunges (unweighted) and today I managed 10 goblet squats. It still hurt a little but I could actually DO them! I only did 10...don't want to hurt myself all over again.
