Day 3 Aftermath

Whoa Nelly!  Sore sore sore today.  My brother sent me a message that said I'm experiencing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).  Well, I know the symptoms first hand, but have never known the technical name.  I feel smart now.  Ha ha. 

Thanks to the internet and ability to find almost anything, I searched for a remedy for DOMS and came up with the following:

According to the article,

"Multiple treatments have been advocated for icing as a treatment.
Other variations of treatment including

acupuncture, herbal remedies, and HBOT appear

to have limited effect. Although some treatments

such as antioxidant therapy appear promising, further

work is warranted. In fact, much room exists for the

implementation of more well-controlled, randomized

studies to assess the effects of many of the aforementioned

treatments."

So... ice, Advil, EFAs, and rest.  Rest comes Friday, Saturday and Sunday so I guess I'll go off and ice myself from the waist down.
