Hey! So recently iv been stepping it up a gear to get my body out of this maintaining weight phase it's been going through, iv been working extra hard with cardio 4 times per week but now I'm finding in getting a lot of pain which is hindering my job as a nurse. Iv been eating lots of protein the last few days to help but is there anything else I can do to speed up the healing?

    It's like a stretching pain, I did some dead lifting recently with the dumbells and now the joint in the mid arm, shoulder, upper back are very tender when I even flinch

    rest and have a hot bath or hit the sauna...

    Cherry juice is meant to help with muscle pain aswell... drink a protein shake one or two hours before bed time so it helps repairing your muscles while resting....

    R.I.C.E.

    R - Rest
    I - Ice
    C - Compression
    E - Elevation

    (I guessed what some of these letters stand for, so I'm not sure if this is right).
