Lookup "Intu flow" on youtube. There's a series of videos showing a short warm up routine that gets your joints lubricated and nutrition flowing into them.

I'll have to look into them deeper. Now horse rub, that is a new approach. And you really like it? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I asked for tips and expected to hear things I hadn't used or known about before. Thanks Chris. I didn’t think the sports gels did anything more then superficial pain relief.

Thanks for the tips. I too R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) but I hadn't thought of my injuries as severe enough to do R.I.C.E. After reading your comment I wanted to slap myself. Oh course I should be doing those things! Duh! Thank you for bring me to my senses. Wow, you sound like a old pro when it comes to injuries and recovery. Thanks for the tips. I too R.I.C.E.

It says on the tube it's animal use only. Ah well, it works, and it smells lovely and minty :-) Massage Ice

When the injury is fresh (within the first 24-36 hours) alternate heat and ice every 20 min. The heat dilates the blood vessels and increases blood flow to the affected area. The ice constrains the blood flow, preventing too much/further swelling (which can exacerbate the injury) and helps with the pain. After the first 24-36 hours, the ice won't help as much, but warmth will. Ibuprofen religiously. Rest, compression, elevation also are good. Gentle, gentle, gentle movement and light fluid stretching too. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
