How do you get rid of soreness?

Question

My hands and rists are really sore from work, how can you get rid of it?

Answer 1

ibuprofen and heat (from super hot shower)
Also, you might try putting some Ben-Gay on, too.

Answer 2

Rest now, and take Advil or something similar.

When you go to work, try to figure out what you can do so your hands don't get so sore. Do you work at a computer? Is it set up ergonomically correct? Do you use vibrating tools? Are you a dental worker or a hairdresser? Find out if there is an occupational health nurse or clinic at work and get them to help you figure out how to make your work environment easier on your hands.

Start to explore the range of you muscles. Rotate your wrists so the work at all angles. For the time being look up some stretches for your sore areas.

If the soreness is acute or short term meaning you havent had the soreness awhile use ice not heat, heat is for chronic pain. Try drinking more water also, what kind of job is it, could be carpel tunnel syndrome.
