Muscle aches? Find relief at home

Whether you’re fit or not, everyone gets muscle aches from duration to day. But instead of running to you doctor every instance you feel a twinge of pain, Everyday Health advises you to try that plan of action to treat it first:

  • Right after the injury, apply ice frequently for the next three days
  • After these three days, apply heat to the area
  • Ease pain with a gentle over-the-counter pain killer
  • Gently massage the muscle and stretch it.
  • Once it feels like its healing, start doing some gentle exercises like walking, swimming and yoga

whether you still have pain, refer your doctor.
