Usually, what do you do when you experience muscle pain? Do you take ibuprofen right away or slather ointments on your body to ease the pain or do you just sleep and hopefully the pain will be gone upon waking up.

I do a bit of the ibuprofen-taking and the "slathering". I prefer the latter, because I take enough pills as it is.

I usually take a day off from doing anything. If it still lingers the next day, I take Alaxan or I apply efficascent.

@Yadah04 When I have lower back pains I would use the electric pad and ben gay. Now, I have exercises and they so are help. I really do not know what will work in the winter but we will see.

I'd probably take Ibuprofen. Once, I'd put up with it but I don't do that so much any more.

If the pain was due from excessive running or working I usually use liniment.

I seldom take a medicine for a muscle pain. I usually take a hot bath with herbal foam bath to relax my muscles. Then I take magnesium supplement before going to bed. Magnesium is good to ease the muscles. Then, if I must, I will have a massage.

I sleep whenever I get muscle pain, usually it's gone after I wake up but if doesn't, then I take meds

I try to avoid medicines. I will go for massage if I can or just go for a hot bath tub and immerse myself in that.
