I worked extra hard in my strength training class on the butt muscle exercises, harder than usual, and now my butt hurts, BAD! I am in my first ever 5k race on Sat. I've had a massage, been in a jacuzzi, stretched a ton, and have even been rubbing my butt once in a while. What will help it heal the quickest?

    My guess is by the weekend you'll be fine... Take some tylenol. Relax and if it's not better by the race it'll be more sore after :)

    Ha!! Not laughing at you. Just celebrating your butt-hurtness with you. I worked out my legs last Friday and I was so sore I couldn't sit on the toilet without cryin out. I still have a slight soreness today and it's thursday.

    I don't think anything helps. I have tried everything you have. Just try to love it. That's what I do =)

    I love feeling soreness all over my body. I laugh at myself struggling to get up or sitting down in a chair while experiencing pain. =)

    only time will heal, a rule of thumb for me is 3 days to fix a sore muscle and the older I get it takes a bit longer sometimes
