I joined a gym two days ago, and worked out for an hour 1/2 on just weight machines with a trainer, Last night when It was time for bed, the pain was soo unbearable, I can't even straighten my legs out all the way, and I woke up 1000 times last night in tears, and didn't sleep, what can I do?

You may have pulled some muscles - get yourself down the docs and they'll prescribe you with pain relief

This sort of problems one will have if the body is not fit and one tries to strain ones body. This might be muscle strain. You can try Hot-Cold therapy. Take ice cubes in cloth and place on the area of pain for 10 minutes and then use hot water bag and repaet for 10 minutes. Consult doctor who would prescribe NSAIDS and soem anti inflamation cream. Once inflamation has come to normal better to take X ray to confirm if back is ok

Take a nice hot bath, rub some ben-gay or a similar product on and maybe a aspirin, other than that not much. After a good work-out you will be sore, no pain no gain lol. Hope that helps

You must have encountered a lactic acid build up in your body when you were about to sleep. when you came home, you probably didn't rest. So, by doing this you used more energy and causing lactic acid to build up in every part of your body. you need energy to produce lactic acid so when you rested at night, that's the only time you got rest causing the lactic acid to build up.

i agree with the other answer and i suggest drinking a lot of water to help flush out the lactic acid that has built up in your muscles.

the only thing you can really do is take motrin or tylenol or maybe even a sports cream. you have over worked your muscles, i did that once and i couldnt walk the next day!!!

That jack@#& worked you too hard. Nice hot bath and stretch. Take an advil or alleve. Feel better.

If they have a jacuzzi, use that before you leave, or go and use it now.
