I remeber those days...
1. take a warm bath...soak in it for a bit...use epsom salts
2. toss a heating pad in your bed....let it warm up the sheets...then remove it when you are going to bed...
3. take 2 ibuprofen (helps relieve pain)
4. use icy hot or mineral ice...work it in...sometimes it feels better if you use a wet hot face cloth..put it on the area..then after that gets cool..put the icy hot/mineral ice/ben gay on...
5. don't forget to work the area that are sore (to build up strength and stretch them out) that is why they are sore..haven't been used in a while probably...
hope you feel better..basketball is a lot of fun....

Ibuprofen reduces pain, swelling and inflammation.
Icy Hot is a little more complicated. Instead of Icy Hot though, try the Icy Hot patches or another brand called Solonapas. The reason for the suggestion of the patch instead of the creams is mostly they smell less.

Ibuprofen (motrin), reduces swelling(inflammation) and reduces pain. Icy Hot is just a topical cream that soothes the area its placed on.

Icy hot is a pain relieving cream and iburpofen is an anti-inflammtory pain medication. That will both relieve your aches and pains.
