Ice.  Stretch. I don't understand why you don't want to take anything.  Cause you don't want it to feel better and get better?  Would perfer to hobble in pain?  OTC pain relievers and NSAIDs probably aren't going to completely alleviate the pain anyway.   Take some Aleve or Advil and rest ice and stretch.  With everyday stuff you probably aren't going to injure yourself worse.  Just don't go do your long run on a sore leg or do something silly like water skiing or bungee jumping.  A massage may help too.

damnit, i had a jump scheduled for tomorrow, followed by some light water skiing!

i did break down and take some advil and have it iced and slightly elevated (on pillows, but i'm sitting up, so its not above my heart).

was reading that compression can help? would i just use a wide ace bandage?

the wide ace wrap will help, give you some support.  remember, only light stretching.

If you wouldn't work out so hard posting TESTS you wouldn't pull a hamstring!! 

Hope it's better soon.

I don't suppose the injury will affect your ability to start threads? 

by "jump" do you mean skydive, base, bungee, skycycle over Snake River?

I used to skydive, that's why I ask.  Been a long time, but worked ground crew when Skydive Chicago hosted a Women's World Record attempt back in about 1996.

Ice, Ice, and Ice. 10 minutes on 10 minutes off. I use Aleve for my arthritis and haven't injured anything due to "masking" the pain. NSAIDS keep the swelling down which should aid in healing.

I'm nursing a sore lower back. I don't know if it was race related or wrestling related (my 18 year old daughter kicked my butt). I'm icing, stretching, and keeping my workouts easy. As long as I'm moving I'm OK - I stiffen up when I sit still.

I hope it gets better soon.

oh no, nothing can impair my ability to post here. i can even do it while nursing a squirming toddler!

no jumping for me. i think even jumping up and down would hurt.

sorry you back is hurting. i can only imagine the damage my girls can do when they are older. fiona already kicks my a** and she's only 2 1/2!

leg is feeling better today, but wouldn't be able to run on it. after talking to my brother in law, we're thinking it probably was NOT the race since it wasn't hurting at all on sunday, but that i must have restrained it at some point yesterday. will have bill pick up a big ace bandage for me, pop some advil, and ice it some more.

Since he is going to target, mind as well have him pick up some morphine.  I think its aisle 2b of the pharmacy.
