I’m a big fan of steam if you’re able or just standing under the hot shower or soaking in a hot bath if you’re not. The wet heat penetrates better than the dry heat of a heating pad and has always been like hitting the reset button for me.

I agree with both scenarios Kristina! I did the hot Epsom Salt & Magnesium bath bombs soak earlier. I'm still really tender and achy. I'll be ok. Just need to recover a little slower. I drove my friend Molly to do some errands today, we did lunch out, and then I took her to a consultation with an Optometrist. She can't see enough to get around safely, let alone drive. She found out today she has Wet AMD. It's 9 out of 10 on a scale of bad. I should have rested, however, I was helping my friend who really is pretty bad off atm. I'll be ok.

I do appreciate all your kind words and pieces of advice!

Thank you Michele and Carol!

I feel you are giving sound advice. I had a very nice reply worked up, bumped a key and lost it all. I don't have the fortitude to retype it all. Stupid site frustrates me sometimes. Especially when I'm tired, my eyes don't focus and I bump a key which eats my words! Im just in pain and will post before it happens again.

You know Carol I’ve wondered if a muscle relaxer would help me? IDK . My muscles get so tight. I have to stop every now and again do deep breathing and concentrate on relaxing. At night I feel stiff as a board sometimes.
