Acetominophen for muscle soreness?



Recommended Posts

I did my first (light!) weight training yesterday, and my muscles are yelling at me. Is it OK to take acetominphen for muscle soreness? I know NSAIDS are Right Out.

If the soreness is from training, a good recovery shake with branching amino acid chains in it should help next time. Drink it within 20 minutes of working out. Also, remember the importance of cool down and stretching. A few minutes on the roller or a heating pad also helps. Remember also to warmup in order to prevent muscle or ligament issues.

I am currently drinking GNC Wheybolic 60 Cookies and cream after a workout and re-feed at night (tastes worst then monkey butt, but does work effectively). In the morning, I drink muscle milk light with chia seeds ( my yummy shake).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
