I included an excerpt from a pretty informative web site below. It's a common misconception that the pain you experience after a rigorous workout is all due to lactic acid buildup.
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a workout is quite common and quite annoying, particularly if you are just beginning an exercise program or changing activities. For the new exerciser who wakes up one day and goes a three mile walk, followed by push-ups and sit-ups, there is bound to be some muscle pain and soreness the next day or two. This is a normal response to unusual exertion and is part of an adaptation process that leads to greater stamina and strength as the muscles recover and build. The soreness is generally at its worst within the first 2 days following the activity and subsides over the next few days.
What Is the Treatment for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness?
- Wait. Soreness will go away in 3 to 7 days with no special treatment.
- Avoid any vigorous activity that increases pain.
- Do some easy low-impact aerobic exercise - this will increase blood flow to the affected muscles, which may help diminish soreness.
- Use gentle stretching on the affected area
- Gently massage the affected muscles,
- Try using a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications to reduce the soreness temporarily, though they won't actually speed healing.
- There is some evidence that performing Yoga may reduce DOMS.
- Allow the soreness to subside thoroughly before performing any vigorous exercise.
- Don't forget to stretch and warm up before your targeted activity.

Obviously, if the pain does not subside within a few days you should consult a physician. Good luck.
