    I would recommend doing a realllly good strech and then soaking in epsom salts in the tub.

    Up your water and potassium. Eat some bananas!

    Nothing to be done really, I'm really sore too. But I just stretch and push through it, soaking in a hot bath works well but I love good old Icy Hot

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I will have to buy some Epsom salts.

    My arms were very sore the past few days to the point where I did not want to move them. So, I didn't. I held my arm like it was in a sling. WRONG. The next day, I was in so much more pain than I was in the previous day. I had to stretch it out. Stretching it out may be very painful, but trust me, it helps A LOT! Your muscles will thank you for it! I learned the hard way!
