Take an advil or any other NSAID before you go to sleep as well. </p> <p>A lot of people use heat pads when they really should be icing to reduce inflammation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-698061 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:03:29 +0000 Bao 698061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH swears by stretching. But when I'm sore I beg him for a massage, add some pain reliever and a bed and you are good to go! I also hear drinking lots of water helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-698059 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:00:04 +0000 immabeetoo 698059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aleve! Best back and muscle pain reliever for me. Feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-698027 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:42:22 +0000 JessiBee 698027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stretch. Remind yourself that tomorrow might be worse, but it will get better, and it's always worse if you don't move around. And pat yourself on the back for doing enough physically to make yourself sore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-698019 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:36:33 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 698019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ice will definitely help the most, but an ice bath takes commitment! I'd pick the sorest parts and ice them, 20 min on, 20 off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-698013 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:33:57 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 698013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second stretching. That helps me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-698009 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:32:33 +0000 honeybear 698009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bananas? As in, eat them? When I was a dancer we ate bananas for sore muscles (for the potassium). May have been an old wives' tale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-697997 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:29:15 +0000 singingbee 697997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ice always helps me when I'm sore. I alternate heat and then ice. Stretching also helps me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-697996 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:29:14 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 697996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take an NSAID and go to bed early, my friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-697995 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:29:12 +0000 Weagle 697995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my ex-boyfriends would take ice baths after super long runs. Supposedly it's supposed to help with soreness. It sounds miserable to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-so-so-sore-any-advice#post-697990 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:26:58 +0000 mrbee 697990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee and I took the kids to the ballpark today, and carried the kids for much of the day.
