I'm sure this has been discussed before, but what is your post fishing routine for dealing with soreness?I'm in my late 40's and I only go out once a week, usually on Saturdays. I try to get home for happy hour around 5pm. I'm usually somewhat sore, back/neck aches and the sort. I'll take an Aleve right when I get home and jump in a hot shower. Then it's a few beers and either a martini or a a few bourbons. That seems to do the trick. What do you guys do post fishing when you get home?
Yep, things change @ 40. Wait'll ya hit 60. Then stuff really changes...
This started happening to me about 10-12 years ago when I was your age. Neck, back, shoulders, legs and hips. I read about people with arthritis using Tumeric and I gave it a shot. It has worked well for me. My wife uses it too now. She prefers the more expensive pre-mixed stuff that is a little more palatable. I just order a large bottle online and its much more economical. I stir 1-2 teaspoons of the powder into a glass with a jigger or so of bottled lemon or lime juice and then add a couple of shakes of black pepper. Mix it up well and knock it back . The citrus helps cover up the taste a bit. Supposedly the capsacin in the pepper facilitates the absorption process. CBD has been helpful too but far too expensive and not as good as the tumeric for me. Hope it helps.
What I found out years ago was to figure out why I was getting so sore in the first place and fix that.One biggie for me was being hunched over sitting on a 5 gallon bucket.I found that sitting on those Eskimo brand chairs with the triangular seat with a back rest really helped me out.Good fishing position but also a backrest that promotes good posture.Occasional stretching also helps.Works for me anyway.
im in my mid 40,s and have had multiple injuries over the years. working out and eating healthy does wonders for the body. Not always popular but giving up alchohol is beneficial. I hurt my back years ago and weight training and keeping a healthy weight really eliminates most pains. I also enjoy a hot tub after ice fishing. Eating the fish we catch creates really healthy meals. I have recently introduced seaweed to my diet as it is supposed to be a superfood. It taste terrible but I choke down a package a day.
It's really easy to get dehydrated ice fishing. Every breath you take (especially that you can see) is full of water vapor. Make sure you stay hydrated, especially before you go fishing, you won't be as sore afterwards.
Agree with staying hydrated - if you have a headache after fishing it's likely from not enough fluids. Not taking time to drink water while fishing used to be a bad habit of mine, and I feel a lot better if I do.Like I said in my earlier post, if you know that you'll have aches and soreness after a specific activity take Naproxin, Ibuprophen, etc. BEFORE the activity. Doing that made a huge difference for me. And don't make me write "BEFORE" in all caps again! : )
Pushing 60 , best thing ive used to help. Is good old fashioned marijuana. It really is good medicine.
