After long time of not playing basketball i played and experience severe body pain after, how can i get rid of it.

Muscle aches: Pain after exercise can be treated with hydration and anti inflammatories such as Ibuprofen and tylenol (acetaminophen). Start slow dynamic exercises to warm the muscles back up and then stretch them out. Be sure to stretch after activity to reduce your pain after sports.
