A member asked:
I worked out at the gym yesterday for the first time, and now i can't straighten out my arms. should i take an oral muscle relaxant, or just rest?

Rest: It is a common effect when you do something your muscles are not used to.Moist heat and stretching exercises plus drinking lots more fluids are of utmost importance
