Knots: Please explain where the "muscle knots" are located? If you have some in your upper or lower back they maybe related to stress or over-working the muscle unit and become balled up and require a orthopedist/pain mgmt specialist or even a LMT. If they are in your lower leg and happen during or after activity, you may need more electrolytes before during and after workouts!

Are sports drinks more effective than plain water at preventing dehydration? I work out year round and sweat a lot, especially in the warmer months. I always drink a lot of water during workouts, but should I be drinking sports drinks instead?

I drink a lot of water glasses in some week. Then I sudden felt pain in bones and muscles. After one and half month, I am feeling my back bone and hip bones do no work. Whenever I stand and sit , feel every thing is moving just like skeleton.
