okay heres the deal,
i went to a water park Sunday..did some climbing and jumping and throwing kids in the water and felt fine doing it. ivee been to this water park 6 times in the past years and have never felt like this afterwards .so then when i got home all the pain started...
I'm having this pain..really bad in my arms, i can hardly type it hurts so bad, i cant close my hand and cant open them all the way without lots of pain. it feels like someone has beat my arms with a metal pole, i cant pick up hardly anything..i have to hold my drink w/ two hands to keep from dropping it. my legs hurt if i squat and bend down but not when im walking. thought id had pulled or stretched some muscles, but didnt think it would last this long..any ideas?

This time your muscles just couldn't do all that you did in the past. They are screaming let me rest. The bottom line is the muscles are overused. It's probably going to take a couple of weeks for you to get back to normal. During this time try to rest as much as possible.
Take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion.
Advil soft gel capsules work very quickly on pain. Take them four times daily.
Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles. I find the best cream for pain is “Blue Emu,” You can read more about this cream at http://www.blue-emu.com/To you can use any analgesic cream.
Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day.
500mg of calcium and magnesium, taken twice daily, can help with diminishing the pain.

I wouldn't let this go on too much longer.You need to see a doctor maybe even a neuroogist.Muscle pain can come from so many different things and only a doctor can find out where It's coming from.They'll probably run a few tests and when the results come back they can help you decide what the best treatment is for you.Good Luck!!
