Answer 2

Use an ice gel- pak , for ten minutes at a time ( to avoid nerve damage ) ; and do not place ice directly against skin. Then rub on mineral ice gel ( found at any pharmacy ) ; or "Glucosamine Pain Relief Roll-On Gel"( odorless,grease-less & stainless).
Believe it or not , castor oil can be rubbed onto the skin to relieve aches & pains and costs about $2.. for a small bottle ( found in pharmacies ).When you use castor oil , be sure to let it dry before putting clothing over it to achieve maximum benefit .

Answer 3

you can do an ice bath on your arm and soak for like 10-15 minutes
this flushes out lactic acid (given it's a lactic acid buildup that's causing the pain and not a torn ligament or strained muscle)

if it is due to lactic acid buildup---your arm should feel better the next day

Ultra strenght Ben Gay helps so does the rubbing in Karate we used to use Tiger Balm think Ben Gay is better but not as penetrating and they both stink.
