Yup, those muscle aches from stretching my physical limits suck like a sugar-deprived kid on a lollipop. Can you believe that I'm masochist enough to do that to my own self without a physical therapist to blame it on? Gentle stretches of the affected muscles and nice hot candle-light baths are my favorite remedy for the after-effects.

Yay you for being able to do something productive in spite of it. I tend to use it as an excuse for a pity and self-flagellation party, in between hot eucalyptus baths, of course.

I hope its temporary pain for permanent gain Toughie. Have you tried curcumin for inflammation? The science has been done and its been proven to be safe and affective. I'm sure I would be mostly bed ridden if I didn't take it. Good luck with everything.

Thank u arfie trying to work them out it hurts. Thank Looney1 my pain back is going to never be 100 gone just hoping better. The doctor thinks I still fibrmalga because of my full body pains. But today I'm going to get up and do some light cleaning.

Hey Steele, There with you. My neurosurgeon told me no lifting anything more than 15 pounds, which mostly works well, though very inconvenient. Do make sure you hydrate well, especially during and after sessions, as once the lactic acid settles in, more pain comes. Wish the PT person had given you some simple exercises for pain relief. Do let them know how the session affected you the next day. Maybe a topical OTC that can help some. Hugs.
