Bogen Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Can't you get a massage in Vegas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_A Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Stretch in a nice, warm shower. Drink lots of water. Take an NSAID (Ibuprofen, etc.). Get out and use them again. That's really what makes the pain go away for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassgowkiss Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Stretch in a nice, warm shower. Drink lots of water. Take an NSAID (Ibuprofen, etc.). Get out and use them again. That's really what makes the pain go away for me read- mask the pain and wreck your liver or kidneys. good advice- elevate your calfs for 10-15 minutes above your heart. use 3 min ice/ 3 min heat treatment finishing with ice (about 3- 4 times each). maybe use stationary bike for about 20-30 min a day. in the future warm up more, then take your time cooling off- at least 30 min. it takes up to 3 hours for the muscle to cool off. strech your calfs by raising your feet towards your knee with your leg straight, bent to 90 derees and with your foot next to your gluts (buttocks). hold stretches for 2 seconds and repeat 10 times each leg. the pain you are feeling is not lactic acid, but torn muscle tissue. vitamine C also can speed up your recovery. and for crying out loud don't overdo it next time- back off with your training and LISTEN to your body!(and don't listen to stupid advice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
