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.

Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles.

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. One tip for athletes: it is healthier to drink a sports drink or water than fruit juice, soda, coffee, or milk during competition or active training periods.

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

Advil soft gel capsules can help with the pain, take them four times daily.

k, a few things you can do,
1. bath tub, and lots of ice, sit until you cant feel the discomfort from the ice any more, then get out and wrap up, when normative body temp reached, hot bath, do not rush things.

2 ginger soak, if your pain is caused by swelling, soaking in warm ginger tea (crushed (crystallized preferably) ginger and boiling watter, add to bath watter), the ginger reduces swelling (that's why it helps your tummy) and pain is often caused by swollen muscles

3. making a paste out of lotion and crushed aspirin, spread on your legs and wrap. soak off when pain is gone.

4 ounce of prevention, proper stretching can help prevent this, if this becomes a regular problem ask your doctor (lol) or excisesfologist what you can do
