OK - here is the formula for muscle pain and injury

R rest
I ice
C compression
E elevation

Muscle pain can be helped by using ice - 2 to 5 minutes on and then off. Protect the skin from direct contact. You can work out gently the next day, but remember, the way we build muscle is to cause minute rips in it and new muscle fiber then comes and repairs the rips to increase the strength. If you do not give the muscle time to repair you will eventually cause damage. So what is the solution? Gentle stretching to relieve aching...and work other body part. Alternate days or workout type. Do not put heat on sore muscles within first 24 hours as it bring blood to the muscle and swelling. Maybe reduce your workout slightly when you resume. Sometimes less is better than more. (example you were using 50 pound weights doing 10 reps - use 25 pound weights and do 30 reps.) Like a turtle - slow and steady will keep you more pain-free and increase your stamina, strength and endurance.

Muscle pain is the result of lactic calcium that deposites in the muscle after havy workout. This happens naturally and we can't do nothing about it.
Aspirin(ascorbic acid) helps us by increasing the fluibility of our blood, thus the muscle is better irigated. But this influence is limited by the quantity of blood that is actually passing through the muscle.
A hot bath is good for us because it relaxes us. As a result, the walls of our veins lossen up so more blood can pass through.
Exercises like strething, jogging, or anything that doesn't require a lot of strenght is good in our case.
Vitamin C is also helpfull, it's used by our body to heal faster(of couse you won't be able to heal as fast as Wolverine).
For someone who's body isn't used to efort, this pain might pass naturally in about 3 to 5 days(hopefully). If you work out regularly, or at least your body is used to efort, the pain can go away in about one day(24 hours). Of course this period is relative to the quantity of lactic calcium that is stored in the muscle.
EVEN IF THE PAIN DISAPEARS, THIS ISN'T GOING TO HELP YOU TO WORK OUT THE SAME MUSCLE. The pain is the result of to much lactic calcium acumulating in the muscle, so if you could discard the pain then you could work out again? No!! The muscle needs at least 24 to 48(best) hours to recover. To much exercise in to little time would result to so much muscle stress that in the end the result will be oposite to what we want.
THIS IS SOMEHOW GENERIC BECAUSE EACH PERSON HAS DIFERENT CAPABILITIES.

muscle pain means over-exertion. your body is telling you to slow down. this is especially evident for those who are begining. you really cant make muscle pain go away after an intense workout. a massage helps flush lactic acid, but the pain is from the tearing and breakdown of the muscles. glutamine helps recovery, but if your sore for more than 3 days, you over did it.

all you can do is recover by eating right and waiting, and slow down a little and build up slowly.

try taking some Glutamine its a supplement that is used in weightlifting and bodybuilding, as well as by those who suffer for muscular cramps or pain—particularly elderly people. The main use of glutamine within the diet of either groups is as a means of replenishing the body's stores of amino acids that have been used during exercise or everyday activities.

Mainly its used to help your muscles recover from a workout so your recovery period doesnt take to long and you can get back to training.

The pain that you are feeling is from the small rips in the muscle fibers. Try ice. Motrin always works well, but rest is probably the best for you right now. However, if you are like me, you like the feeling of that soreness - it lets you know that you worked your muscles out hard! Take a motrin and work out "easy" today.

I agree with everyone who told you to rest before working out again, I highly recommend that. However, you can use a supplement called Betagen which helps with muscle soreness and recovery and can also help you lift more.

If you want to workout everyday, you can do what I do. Alternate days of Upper Body with Lower Body with Cardio in between, for example:
Upper Body, Cardio, Lower Body, Cardio, Upper Body, Cardio, Lower Body, Cardio..... I rest every 7th day.

Soaking in a nice hot bath does the trick for me. I usually take a couple of Tylenol Arthritis for the first couple of days along with a nice soak. It works wonders. Always remember to stretch and warm up before exercising and stretch and cool down after exercising.

warm up your muscles.... go swimming or jogging and stretch before you lift again. Ideally you want to give whatever muscle groups you excercised a break before you use heavy weight on them because they need time to heal. when you lift weights you cause microscopic tears in the muscle tissue which then use the extra amino acids you are consuming (protiens) to fill in those tears, making your muscles bigger.

you don't

the pain is your body telling you it isn't ready to workout again yet so if you do you will injure yourself more seriously

i suggest you workout a different part of your body and never exercise the same muscles again within 48 hours
