Cure for sore muscles?

Well yesterday I had to help push my car down to the inlaws (down the looong driveway with some little hils) and this morning my shoulders and arms are SORE! Anyone have any cures for this? The car is a lot heavier than it looks!

My shoulders andback muscles are sore for painting the basement all weekend. I know how you feel kiddo! A massage is the best thing I can think of!!

Apply ice packs to the areas for about 20 minutes several times a day for a couple of days in case of strains, and then use heat after that. Take Ibuprophen (IE: Advil) for inflammation. Don't spend your time in bed resting and not doing anything, that will only make it worse.

Moist heat (a hot shower works wonders for me) and ibuprofen. I also use a menthloated muscle rub, when it gets TOO bad. (You know you're getting old, when the smell of Ben-Gay becomes an aphrodisiac )

Two words - heating pad!

Make sure you sretch your arms today and don't rest them otherwise you will be more sore tomorrow!!

Keep them moving! Stretching, reaching etc are the best. Also I would et those hot/cold pads and follow those: heat for 20 minutes, cool for 20. Repeat.
