kind of wild to get this question while in pretty terrible pain from spending 8+ hours hunched and wedged cleaning and completely re-wiring our little entertainment center area with my partner. the internet just lines up funny with real life sometimes
i knew at one point i should stop but i really wanted to finish the project which is something we’ve been “meaning to get around to” for years. (nothing to do with sheltering in place tho. the impetus was a new modem.) anyway, afterwards i downed three ibuprofen, lots of water, took a freezing cold shower (while he went to pick up pizza for us ), had him stick an icyhot patch on my back, and ate said pizza while in a strategic pile of pillows on the couch. then i slept for ten hours and actually at some point felt not terrible until of course, i got up. so i guess i’m gonna rinse, lather, repeat if i can manage.
@tinamarie1974 it was very satisfying! it was really a mess and now it’s not only nice and clean but i learned a lot about how to hook things up which hopefully my mind will retain lol. and yes, i think i’ll keep him
@jerk_nugget@tinamarie1974 I always feel that way after crawling out from under a car after cursing its design for hours. Then you can take it for a drive and you won.
When you are at an advanced age (like me), you wont feel the pain until the next day. At which point I just deal with it. It’s good pain - it means you worked hard! Wear it like a badge of honor.
Deep Blue rub by DoTerra. Like Ben Gay only works better and not as stinky. And a massager if necessary. Heating pad. Make note not to repeat the thing that put you in this position in the first place.
If you’re lucky, you reach the age that the question becomes, “What hurts today?” It’ll be something different tomorrow…
@2many2no or what ELSE hurts?
@2many2no @unksol pain is just a gentle reminder that you are still alive…
@chienfou @unksol Gettin’ old ain’t fer sissies!
@2many2no @chienfou well…
@2many2no @unksol
if only the good die young what does that say about the 3 of us??!!!
@2many2no @chienfou I guess that you’re sneaky old goats we should keep an eye on

Doesn’t help the soreness, but I don’t care either.
@ybmuG I love Laphroaig.
@tweezak @ybmuG I hear Lagavulin and Glengoolie blue are excellent.
@tweezak @unksol @ybmuG

@mike808 @tweezak @unksol are those your quarantine empties?
@tweezak @unksol @ybmuG
Yeah. I’m making a fort with them.
@mike808 @tweezak @ybmuG this fort. I would be interested in seeing.
Avoid the workout altogether. No pain, no pain.
What workouts?
Avoid the exercise

After? How about ibuprofen and compression braces in order to DO the yard work.
Chocolate milk. Great recovery drink for your muscles. Ovaltine. Yum!!
@AZnatural1 chocolate malt ovaltine was my favorite for years! i should get some more.
Rum. Ahrrrrr.
@PocketBrain Aye!

@jerk_nugget but was it worth it? Sounds like you have a good partner

bourbon works well

@katbyter that deep blue stuff is great!! But too expensive.
Beer.
Soreness? That’s for people who don’t get enough exercise.
@olperfesser no… that’s for people who push their limits.
Foam. Roller.
It is satisfying and pleasant.
Yoga helps. RICE and baths also help
My Puffco Peak and a load of Indica crumble.
