I guess I have nothing to add. Streching before and ESPECIALLY after your workout is the key. And it gives better shape to muscle in a long run. And yes, after every serie drink water.
You could always also use those "Ice Power" creams or whatever if it kinda like burns too much.
My muscles never gets too sore anymore.
Take: TYLENOL
And: Ice on for 20 minutes, Ice off for 20 minutes.
Also: Stretch
Need to get that chronic!
Pulling a muscle hurts so badly!!! But for sore muscles, just use tiger balm like what calliope said.
There's no conclusive evidence that stretching helps at all. It might help post exercise because you are actively using the muscles which are all broken and healing (which is good), but pre-exercise, it doesn't help much if you haven't exercised for a long time previously (you'll be sore regardless)
If you are really sore because you just stumbled home and went to sleep, my only advice is to get a massage and rest.
Pain is weakness leaving the body. Love it.

My back hurts, but that's supposedly from my heavy backpack. I vote less books to carry around.

I just carry on while they sort themselves out. Unless I've done myself actual injury in which case I just chill and sink some beers while I wait for the pain to go away.
