Sore Muscles?

[Ns1]

Anybody know a pretty decent way of "healing" sore muscles? I'm putting on craploads of vicks on em right now and it's feelin alright, but is there anything else I can do? I need to go running (I'm a valet) again in about 1 hour, so yeah, any recommendations would be great =)

try ibuprofin, it works pretty well. I recommend that to all car accident victims that don't go to the ER with me, because the next day they are sore all over. They pull muscles they never knew they had...

ibuprofin? would that effect my ability to do my job function at all? (ie run alot and drive other peoples' expensive cars)

 

[911paramedic]

Not at all, it is like asprin, only has a different action.

You can look at it here if you want, trust me, it works.

just make sure you don't take ibuprofen with an empty stomach!

 

[911paramedic]

That only matters if you take alot of it, like everyday. It can cause ulcers if you take too much of it but Nero isn't, I don't think...

AND stretch. Talk a hot shower before you go.

Isn't Vicks for colds? Stuffy nose/throat? Try some Icy-Hot. Or a good massage from a stranger. Ask around, I'm sure you'll get one. People are nice.

Advice from somebody called StinkyMeat LOL, just kidding.

I used to use Icy-Hot too, it worked pretty well.

BUMP BECAUSE I CAN NO LONGER FEEL MY LEGS


OOOOOH THE HORROR!!~

i've already had 2 advil's and i'm about to vick out my legs, because i can barely freakin walk!!!

i feel that way after a long backpacking trip. funny thing is that my legs don't get sore until i get home. maybe if you just walk around (run?) a lot then it won't bother you when you get to work.

ibuprofen is the important part of "Advil".
Very good for sore muscles and joints. As well as back and necks.

I have a very bad neck and IB is the only thing I use for it.
Works great.

Unless you take like 50 of them at once they won't affect your day to day operations.
No more than Extra Strenght Tylenol or Aspirin will anyways.

stretch?

 

[Ns1]

i stretch before during and after and whenever i'm bored, and it still hurts like all hell

OOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH BABY

VICKS IBUPROFIN AND OTHER DRUGS ARE GODS GIFT TO MAN!~

Try about 5or6 shots of JD that should do the trick.
