I was clubbing and dancing, and I can walk, its just really painful to walk. Should I elevate my legs? Sleep? What?

soak in epsom salt in warm/hot water
take advil or aleve
get a massage or get someone to massage you
elevate legs
remember this rule: Rest Ice Compression (massage) Elevation (RICE)
stretch this evening or tomorrow and do get some movement (walking around) or the muscle issue (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) will continue.
One thing you can take is called Glutamine, it is available in GNC and helps muscles recover faster. Available in powder or pills. I prefer powder. A lot of athletes use it for this exact reason. It is completely legal and it is found in protein naturally, this is just a concentrated amount.
Drink plenty of fluids. Make sure you eat things that have some salt in it in case you are having an electrolyte imbalance from any alcohol intake.

Well you could take ibuprofen that may help alleviate some of the pain. You could also soak in a bathtub with hot/warm water and Epsom Salts (that's very good for muscles). You could also use a heating pad on your legs. Another idea is to use Flexall OR Icy Hot you just rub it on the areas of your legs that hurt. Sounds like you aren't used to dancing for that long of period of time OR that your body isn't used to exercise. It's just basically sore muscles due to strenuous exercise.

Lili: according to "Knee Injuries" an specail need is required
yourself must do use icepack for 2hrs every day if the swelling
flares up yes! keep it elevated ok also get an cortizone shot
from your doctor because tendintis can set in very painful
take it real easy & see "Family Doctor" right away ok?

Try not to dance SOOO much at one time. Elevate those legs, and take a warm bath, and RELAX!!!!

Advil works wonders, my friend. Take a couple of those and try to stay off your feet for a few hours. Take a hot bath and soak for a while. You should feel better in a few hours.

prop your feet and kick back you done your exercising thats why they hurt so bad you used muscles you havn't used in awhile. either go out drink somemore and do it again or just kick back and let nature take it's course and they will heal in a few days
