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. I find the best cream for pain is “Blue Emu,” You can read more about this cream at http://www.blue-emu.com/
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.
Swimming is excellent exercise without having hard impact on your body. This will help strengthen your back muscles. Use a back support when you work this will also help lessen the pain.
500mg of calcium and magnesium, taken twice daily, can help with diminishing the pain.
Advil capsules taken four times daily can help with the pain. I've enclosed a link for back stretches.
