how do i get rid of muscle pain in the legs?

mmkay wel i have soccer training all this week( July 30-Aug 5) and my legs have many many pulled muscles in the legs (quad,hamstring, calves, etc.) So what i need to know is if there is any quick treatment i can do to get rid of this pain?

answer quckly…that would be nice :D

Chosen Answer:

Well first you need to know if your legs are just sore from overexersion or if you really have a pulled muscle. A pulled muscle is very painful and sometimes requires medical attention. You would need to not put too much strain on it.

On the other hand, sore muscles are caused by a build up of lactic acid from heavy exercise. If you are just sore, be sure the next day you do some kind of physical activity to reduce the lactic acid or you will be hella sore day 2.

Some things to try: heating pad or ice pack. I hate being cold so I prefer the heating pad. A rub like Icy hot or bengay messaged in works well. Drink lots of water. Pain relievers are helpful. And finally remember- No pain, no gain.

is it okay to snort Carisoprodol?

i found a question like this and it didnt really give a straight answer

i have this really bad scrape and road rash on my knee

i have a Carisoprodol and want the pain to go away

but i also want a lil bit extra

its already crushed and all but i just wanna know if it is okay

Chosen Answer:

Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxer, not a pain med.

As I said to that other question:

You can do anything with any drug. That doesn’t mean it’s a particularly bright idea.

And people wonder why we’re reluctant to prescribe certain meds.

What is the best over the counter pain relief medication for middle back muscle pain?

I started running a drill press and I have to pull on a handle several thousand times a day and have been experiencing middle back muscle pain.

Chosen Answer:

Pain relievers can’t address pain in a particular part of the body, so you can ignore any that make that claim. Any analgesic/anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or aspirin should work. Try them out to see which one is most effective for you.

If I took carisoprodol (somas) mixed with marijuana, what are the chances of me overdosing?

yeah, so i just got some somas and i have weed, and i was thinkin bout mixing it? is that a good or bad idea? and dont give me the whole “drugs are bad dont do it.” just answer the questions please.

Chosen Answer:

No. How will you overdose on weed?

I have a question. Are you cutting the somas and adding it to the weed? You cant od if you are only using a few somas. How many mgs?

I dont think that would be a good mix though. You should just pop the somas and then smoke. Dont mix it in literally with the weed.

PS drugs are bad.

Is there any way to potentiate Soma (Carisoprodol)? And is there any way to counteract the drowsiness?

These are two separate questions, I’m not asking for a combination of the two lol, that would be very contradictory. Any help would be appreciated.

How to relieve pain from gouts and muscle pain?

My mom has started just yeasterday what looks like a gout on her left elbow and on her left foot. Combined with that she has a lot of muscle pain all over her body. Any advice on how to relieve the pain? Thanks!

Chosen Answer:

Prescription drugs do help in treating your symptoms of aches and pains, but they are still drugs which in itself is the problem. By keeping your body pure, your body can focus on healing without having to first process chemicals, which are sliced and diced by the enzymes in your stomach, leaving very little of the effective ingredients still in tact. This breakdown of chemicals usually leads to a build up of toxins in the liver and essentially can begin poisoning your body over time–recent news headlines prove it.

ReliefMD uses a revolutionary new approach, dedicated to matching and combining the different properties of these oils into a single formula for superior pain relief. And to top it off, ReliefMD is NOT PETROLEUM based. This formula is the most unique combination of plant and nut extracts to give you an effective way to relieve pain.

Why doesn’t the NHS use carisoprodol instead of benzos for muscle relaxers?

surely it would be cheaper, less chance of addiction and it works better than benzos! Would save the NHS a canny bit of money? Whats everyone think?
cheers!

Chosen Answer:

While Soma or Carisoprodol is far more effective a muscle relaxer than benzos, which are to be honest, not very good muscle relaxants, it is not necessarily a cheaper drug, and has a much higher rate of abuse than benzodiazepines.

Carisoprodol is a pro-drug, it’s broken by the body into another form, called meprobamate, more commonly known as Miltown. This drug fell almost completely out of use in the 1970s due to replacement with benzos for anxiolysis and sedation, and due to completely rampant abuse.

Not going to disagree about it being more effective, but it does not have less abuse potential than benzos. Of course, there’s always the nice middle ground of something like cyclobenzaprine.

The UK’s use of Benzos is quite odd. The NICE guidelines on their use aren’t followed (and the NICE guidelines are pretty bad too). They seem to at once loathe them and use them sloppily and frequently. This contrasts pretty sharply with the American absolute terror and stigma, and the mainland Europe usage that is much more level headed and practical.

EDIT: Oh yes. Withdrawal from Carisprodol or Meprobamate after developing a dependence on it is apparently one of the worst withdrawals, bar none in existence.
