A member asked:
What do i do to an aching muscle at the back of my thigh. ?

From what?: Local muscle pain could be as benign as a strain from stretching, overuse or injury, inluding from exercise. Occasionally it could be a sign of nutritional deficiency (potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc.). For minor muscle aches, heat, massage and otc analgesics are usually helpful.
