Beiner Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 You know that lovely feeling you get after you work out? Well I just started ju jitsu, and Im aching worse then anything. I know IM being conditioned, but moving is hurting. I know with time the aching will either become a norm, or it will slowly dwindle, but Im looking for a quick fix. I've tried the hot tub thing, but it has yet to work. So any pointers would be great Thanx
Little Dragon Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 If its a sprain-Get solon pas,those patches where when u put it on you feel it burn/cool up a lil,or those icey cool rubs. Other than that its probably soreness. ''I know what your thinking.........did I shoot you 3 times? or did I shoot you 472 times?''
Beiner Posted September 20, 2004 Author Posted September 20, 2004 Yeh its not an actual injury or anything I can still walk normally, but Im achey, or sore all over.
Little Dragon Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 thats just soreness..it'll go away in a day or two..just letting your muscles heal from work out ''I know what your thinking.........did I shoot you 3 times? or did I shoot you 472 times?''
Shorin Ryuu Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Stretch. And stretch. And stretch. It sounds obvious, but most people do not stretch enough AFTER their work out. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
SoonerJohn Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 I've read where vitamin C and E can help reduce the longevity of the soreness, but I've never experienced it. I always take a couple of advil and leave it at that. After a week or two you won't get as sore anymore anyway.
kbgirl Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Rather than a hot bath, try an ice bath. It will help with the swelling of overworked muscles... many runners do this. I, personally, would NEVER be able to handle the cold water, but if you can do it, I've heard it's awesome. Sit in the ice water for about 10 minutes... it's just like icing your whole body.

solar_kid Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 I'd just take a regular dose of advil/ibuprofen/motrin. I've used it from time to time when I've been excessively sore or had an injury, and I think it does a good job of easing sport-related pain. I agree with Sooner, too, after a couple of weeks you'll probably stop having the soreness. I also agree with Shorin, and have found relief in good stretching. Nothing says you can't use multiple approaches. ----Hmm. Hello. This is the floor. How did I get here?
AngelaG Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Alternate the shower on hot and cold. It causes the muscles to stretch and contract and pushes all the lactic build up out of them.
