magnesium oil for sore muscles



Recommended Posts

wanted to pass on my experience. one of my whines about exercising after this surgery is not being able to take motrin for muscle soreness. but my massage therapist introduced me to magnesium oil. you use it sparingly on sore muscles (it can be a little stingy or itchy when you first put it on) and it WORKS GREAT. i got mine at vitacost.com, but you can get it at any health food store.

Thanks for the tip! I never knew there was an oil.

Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate, which is what makes them work so well, too. But the oil is great when you're not near a bathtub :P

If you stretch good after exercise your muscles shouldn't be sore. That means you are not releasing all the lactic acid in your body after a work out.

not enough Water intake after exercise or stretching.

actually it means that mild muscle soreness after weight lifting, deep stretching or high intensity workouts is normal.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
