Depends why sore: Muscle can be sore for a variety of reasons. It overuse ice and heat can be used. There are a variety of topical analgesics which you can get over the counter (otc) and by prescription. You first need a correct diagnosis to be certain the muscle soreness is not due to a systemic problem invovling the muscles, like myositis and vasculitis, as these can be serious and need definition.
