Could you tell me ways to help muscle soreness after a workout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Muscle soreness after a workout is good. It means you have done enough to break muscle down so you will gain mass and strength. Put up with it, don't be a wimp. If you have to take something for mild, transient muscle soreness, try advil or tylenol (acetaminophen).
