What do you do for really sore muscles?!
Question: How do I get rid of my constant muscle pain and tension and knots? I don't have money to go to a massage therapist all the time. And from constantly sitting at my desk or laying on the bed studying I have chronic muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. Please help!!! I try massaging it myself, but it never works. And I'm always stretching my neck muscles to try to relieve it which always makes my neck pop and crack and it just sounds soooo bad! I wanna get rid of all these aches and pains and rice krispie sounding things in my neck and shoulders!!

Have you tried putting a heating pad on your neck and shoulders that should loosen them up a bit. I would also suggest if you have a massaging shower head to just go stand under the shower and let the water just run over your muscles. I would also suggest that if you are really in a lot of pain you go to the doctor and see if he is willing to give you a mild muscle relaxer that would help most.
Take a nice hot bath. Have a friend or family member rub your neck and shoulders. Maybe you need to see a chiropractor. Some insurances cover it, and if not it usually isn't that expensive!
Perhaps the reason for your aching muscles is side effects from prescription medication but perhaps you are not taking any.
