Accepted Answer

Call poison control: The state's poison control centers usually have that information you're looking for. Also the  ewg.Org website has additional information under their skin deep database. The triethanolamine is the most toxic component in the formulation, which is a nitrosamine. So check with the poison control pharmacist to see if you need to do anything now.

Accepted Answer

Not enough info.: Don't know what part of the body you have pain or what the quality of the pain is. Have been diagnosed with a cause for your pain?

Try Stretching.: Simple stretching is a good way to begin.  I would hold the positions for at least 1 minute.  Your PCP can probably provide lyou with  muscle relaxant.  You could use acetaminophen for discomfort.
