Hey guys!!I went to work today after tow months. I did good, I had a few tough moments but ultimately I made it through! My calves are super sore now. I'm assuming from doing a lot more walking and standing than usual...anyone else get this?it hurts:( and If you do...what do you do for it. I'm all out of Epsom salt:(

Hi abi, well done on getting back to work and getting through it. Calf pain used to be a major issue for me with my anxiety. The best thing I found was just to have a couple if pain killers and a long soak in the bath. I hope it eased up for you :-)

Kudos to you for going back to the workplace. Big step forward. I'd suggest any muscle ache lotion with camphor or menthol, maybe even salicylate (aspirin). A long soak in a tub of hot water always helps when I'm sore, even better if you can add Epsom salts. Maybe try a heat pad or wrap them in hot towels from the dryer. Anything with heat is good for soreness. Congrats again and good luck! Proud of you.
