Answer 1

After work 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 (Standing).

Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles. Use Advil soft gel capsules for pain, take them after work and before bedtime.

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. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body.

500mg of calcium and magnesium, taken twice daily, can help with diminishing the pain.

Answer 2

I don't think pain is the *only* remedy...there is love, laughter and the company of others that can work wonders on a broken soul. However, I do prefer to embrace the pain rather than numb my mind and body. All I would be accomplishing is ignoring the pain for awhile, not dealing with it. An unresolved issue that goes away on its own has a tendency of also coming back on its own as well. At least by embracing the pain I can thereby deal with it...with the help of family, friends, laughter and yes, probably a lot of tears.
