i want to know if there is anything other than pill or linament around can make muscles stop hurting. i got cracked back last night in my game and landed on my hip,, and now its just a lil bit tender, so much so i can barely sit down without it trying to cramp up, anyone know anything that can help?

warm epsom salt bath
icy hot
bengay
hot moist towels to lay on

i did mineral ice and it didnt do anything but make me smell like camphor. i think the muscle is a little too deep. its right around my hip on the rear of them. i dunno, maybe it will just take time to ease off.

Morphine. But it's a little hard to come by.

Ibuprofen! Helps with inflammation!

nah,, im at work, and morphine would probably make me unfit to work, and i dont feel like ive got bugs crawling all over me.

icy hot and massage it after hot shower!!!!!!

Thumper, if it doesnt ease, go get an xray hun, could be more than a muscle...Smiles, Terri

massage part is out, dont have anyone that really wants to touch my butt,,lol, and the hot shower helped a little but like i already said the linament i put on didnt help.

Heat if you can get it.

I guy a knew from
work had kidney stones he
had to get rid of the
hard way and they gave him
morphine for the pain.

i hope not smiles, my doctor already wants to strangle me cause i wont quit playing, i have a otrn rotator cuff in my left shoulder. im supposed to have surgery on it but, call me crazy i have had 2 surgeries already and i dont really like not knowing where i am or what is going on. i doubt its really bad i just think i knotted the muscle up.

Aleve works the best. But for something like morphine you have to go to the doctors for that.

Your best bet is a ice it and then put a warming pad on it.

But if your in so much pain go to the ER.

Other wise take some Aleve which works all day and night, you can take up to 4 or more a day, but get lot's of rest as well.

its not like a stabbing pain, its one of them dull throbbing aches,so i doubt i need to go see anyone.

I had a root canal
not too long ago
and they gave me
Vicodin.

Knocked the pain right out.

mn,, everything youve said is a class 2 controlled substance, you have to have a script to get it. i appreicate the advice but im not going to the dr any time soon.

I have a Sport Massager HV-F002A made by OMRON. Look it up on the internet. I think Walmart sells them. It has 2 sticky pads hooked to a small hand-held unit the size of a calculator.
You place the pads on the area and turn it on. This sends mild electric shocks between the pads at different intensities and pulse rates that are fully controlled by you. It works tense muscles till they relax on there own. It doesnt hurt. Just feels good. If you turn it up it will actually make the muscle jerk.
If you have a deep bruise..you should put ice on it at first and then after you have done this for the first few hrs. switch to heat of some kind or a deep heating gell.
The big vibrating massagers by Homedics work good too for tight muscles also.Model PA-1 is a real horse and works good and deep.This may be what you need for deep pain.
