@youbetheanchor Thank you, not sure if I will make it to work tomorrow. This goes to show how unfit I am🙈

@WildHeart trust me, I can relate.

I have fibromyalgia so here's a list of stuff to try...
1. Bath with epsom salt twice a day.
2. Drink water like crazy. You'll be shocked at how much better you'll feel.
3. Fruit juices like cranberry juice. 100% juices only.
4. Protein. Lean meats and nuts like pecans, peanuts, etc can help to keep your body working while you rest. It speeds up recovery time by at least a day.
5. Green veggies.
6. Icy hot on your joints.
7. Ibuprofen is a great over the counter anti inflammatory.
8. Rest but don't stay still all day. Try to continue to move around a little to keep your muscles from tensing up even more.
I hope this helps. I usually try to ride out my hurt days and my flare always goes away at least a day later doing this stuff. Good luck.

@Kitakat00 Thank you so much I really appreciate your advice. Especially the part about moving my muscles I never knew this could cause more pain.
Kitakat00 · 36-40, F
No problem. Muscle pain sucks. I hope you feel better soon!
WildHeart · 41-45, F
@Kitakat00 Thank you I hope so too🤞
Protein protein protein. And lots of water. Try warm bath and patience your muscles are telling you it's the first time you've used them to they're full potential. This is going to last a week lol. Do it more and you'll stop hurting and get stronger and fitter 🤓👍

@Teggy LoL I agree I have not worked out this much in ages. It seems my muscles might have been dormant 😂 all this time.

Whenever you do something that you suspect will make you sore, you should always stretch afterwards. Cold showers or icing your muscles can help, too. Additionally, eating a meal with a lot of carbs and protein (ideally in a 1:1 ratio) can help a lot, especially when you wake up sore in the morning. The protein is what your muscles need to repair itself, and the insulin response from the carbs will make your body store nutrients into your muscles. And don't forget to sleep!

@Invisible Thank you, I did have a short nap but I feel like I got up worst.
It gets worse after day two or three 😔
WildHeart · 41-45, F
@Teggy Please don't say that, I would rather hear a lie right about now. I can't imagine the pain getting any worst.
Stretch

and massage

@WildHeart Ya know...we all look pretty terrible while working out, sweaty and making ugly faces and such...😂

My own is to keep on moving but that isn't for everyone
WildHeart · 41-45, F
@Encontrados Thats very true I realized that the next day
JustEd · 41-45, M
Warm bath and some walking to keep the muscles from tightening up
JarJarBoom · 41-45, F
Epsom Salt soak always works for me.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
Soak for at least 30 minutes in a very warm bath with a couple hand fulls of Epsom salts added. Very relaxing and you'll get minerals into your muscles.
