What is a good way to alleviate muscle pains in one day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That might be impos-: Sible to achieve. It would depend upon the severity and extent of the injury. Rice ( = rest, ice, compression and elevation) + nsaids, muscle relaxers would all help to alleviate the symptoms in the first 3-4 days; and later replace ice with a heat pad 3 x a day to help. Unless its a very minor injury which might get relieved in a day, but generally it takes 4-5 days time.

Good morning doctors! I have two separate purple, for lack of better words, blotches on my left forearm, closer to my muscle on the underside. Could it be ecchymosis or possibly sarcoma? How can one distinguish? Cannot see dermatologist for two weeks
