And something topical. Tiger Balm or Ben Gay are okay (problem is they pull too much blood to the surface instead of leaving it down in the muscle because of that warming sensation they give). Topricin is my absolute favorite. Traumeel is also good. You'll have to go somewhere a little less mainstream to find them, Rite Aid probably doesn't stock them. Also, any cream you can find that is Arnica based (which is one of the main ingredients in Topricin and is great for relieving bruising).
You can also find Traumeel in tablets at some health food places and co-ops and such. You can take that in addition to using Topricin cream.
