Some of the pain is caused by swelling - try loading up on the advil. Nobody knows for sure what causes DOMS, it doesn't fit the typical description of "pain" as it is supposed to be a protective measure (touching something hot) because the pain doesn't begin for at least 12 hours afterward. Plus the types of nerve endings sensitive to pain (type III and IV) don't exist in the muscle tissue, but they do in the connective tissue surrounding the muscle. Anyway - advil usually helps me.

Heta works wonders. Try taking a hot bath.

Naproxyn is a god send for me.
