So I have started running as most of you already know and I have some sore muscles. Sincewe can't take advil or aleve and tylenol does nothing for me, I was wondering if what everyone else took for mild muscle pain or should I just tough it out or find something topical?

    Is that prescription or over the counter? - looks like it's an NSAID as well and we aren't supposed to take that.

    it is an NSAID but I find I only need to take half of one when I am feeling sore and it feels DAMN good.

    otherwise, maybe try and see a naturopath for natural remedies? I know for inflammation and muscle soreness, you should eat a lot of berries and apples as they keep inflammation down!

    Tiger Balm muscle rub is nice. It's topical and helps to ease muscle pain.

    I soak in a warm tub. Maybe use some epsom salts.

    I take tylenol...even though I agree with you, it doesn't do much for me. I also soak and use Icy Hot or hot/cold packs as needed which seems to help a bit.
