U2 – DOMS – Better & Best: Part 1
There is not much you can do to get over the DOMS faster, you can ice, you can do gentle stretching, but you basically just have to let it run its course. When you have DOMS it feels like a bruise in the muscle – it is not joint pain and there is no ‘instant of injury’. You typically feel fine when you are doing the thing – like rocking out at the concert, but then 1-2 days later you pay the price. The discomfort typically goes away after 1-5 days. If it persists longer or gets feeling worse and worse, you should seek medical attention – could be something other than DOMS.
