hoosierbass07 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I've been getting slightly sore shoulder muscles after I go fishing. It's usually from kayak fishing for a few hours of paddling and making so many casts. I'm wondering if any of you take any pills or something to lower the discomfort? I recently discovered Aleve pills. When my shoulder is really sore I take one pill and in about 30 minutes or 1 hour later the discomfort goes away. So what do you all do when you get sore muscles?

Dirty South Fishing Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Fish oils, flax seed are simple to take and will help some. Contrast baths help a ton. 15 minutes ice bath, or just cold water, drain it and then do hot water. Epsom salt in the hot water helps also. Exercise will help get blood to the area too. This is what I take and do daily, works wonders for me and my training. Quote

Super User DogBone_384 Posted April 18, 2015 Super User Posted April 18, 2015 Macallan 12 on the rocks & 2 Aleve.... Quote
Super User Darren. Posted April 18, 2015 Super User Posted April 18, 2015 1 Ibuprofen + 1 Aleve. The Ibuprofen gets to the pain quicker than the Aleve, but the Aleve makes it last longer... Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted April 18, 2015 Super User Posted April 18, 2015 You figure it out... Yea, but it leads to harder stuff, lol Quote

Super User geo g Posted April 18, 2015 Super User Posted April 18, 2015 Aleve is good. I take two to start and then one every twelve hours. Quote
gobig Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Yea, but it leads to harder stuff, lol Like double chocolate cake. Quote

Super User BrianinMD Posted April 18, 2015 Super User Posted April 18, 2015 90 minute full body deep tissue massage.... Quote
grampa1114 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I find that after the boat and truck are put away, a good alcohol rub is very helpful......applied internally. 1 Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted April 18, 2015 Super User Posted April 18, 2015 Well, having broken the 70 yo mark, you can probably guess that these muscles aren't what they use to be! My daughter has several degrees and runs a women's health business. When I complained about pain after fishing, she sent me a tube of Dr. King's Advanced Arnica cream. It's a homeopathic cream that you just rub into your shoulders, lower back and knees, when the need arises. Gotta tell ya folks, this stuff WORKS! Regardless of how achy I get after a day on the water, this cream helps relieve most aches & pains very quickly. I'd stay away from any kind of regular Ibuprofen use, or Aleve. Yeah, they work, but with regular use, you are putting your liver in jeopardy. Just ask your Doctor. Quote
Silas Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 One 60 minute massage every week. Sure you can afford it. $40 each if you go each week. All those pain killers are doing a number on your liver. Quote

RanndomUndead Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 i tough it out and push on. I almost never take pills, havent taken any in over 3 years. Plus, im slightly allergic to aleve Quote
