Umm... I lift and I know stretching both pre- and post-workout will help minimize soreness the next day. If your soreness is the result of weight training, it is the worst the first time you really work the muscle group and gets better with consistency. If your elbow is sore from say throwing baseball or dodgeball or something along those lines, you need to cool it and let it repair because it could be something like tennis elbow or some ****. I know I used to get my elbows ****ed up from chucking too many basketballs 3/4ths court length in high school gym class for fun. The only way the pain would go away would be to give it a break and I mean more than just a couple days. Good luck with it man and someone else will more than likely give more advice.

If you are a beginner you cannot escape soreness. If you try a diffrent exercise that you have never performed, you wil lnot escape soreness. However, I have told clients to take some ibeprofen (Motrin) the night after a good workout and it has reduced the "pain" of soreness.

Thats a bit extreme if we are talking about DOMs you are masking the bodys natural mechanism of telling you to rest and when you have recovered.
Also NSAIDS can inhibit de novo protein synthesis some effect hormone levels and all except one inhibit cartilage synthesis and accelarate joint damage besides the ulcer risk.
I would not agree with such a use.

Hmmmm...I don't think there was any mention of DOMS...which studies have found is only prevelant in individuals with lower than avergae fitness levels. Secondly, the use of NSAIDS for a short periord of time for the beginner is actually helpful in commitinig to an exercise plan. You see, with occassional use, the beginner will not likely drop out of a trainnig program due to the discomfort of soreness. This is important for anyone trying to reach a fitnes goal. Lastly, the claims you made about NSAIDS are over a LONG period of time...and ABUSED. The key here (as a fitness professional) is educating. Soreness tends to vanish as fitness levels increase and yuo should only feel like you "worked out/stiff" first thing in the morning and performing some activities. "Painful" soreness is not good and is usually a sign that the exercise program is not in-synch with the fitness level of the person.

You said after a good workout you recommend it what other type of soreness are you preventing over DOMs?
Next DOMs will be present in most who stress their body over what it is not used to as most people on this site who are very fit will testify. You do realise DOMS is not from lactic aciod buildup but trauma to muscle fibres which most are trying to achieve.
Next these effects are truly only established in the long term as noticable in the same way that no one workout will make you big but they all have an effect.
A single use prevents de novo protein synthesis as established. A single use can irritate the git. A single use inhibits cartilage synthesis and a single use can effect hormone synthesis. Of course in the long run if you are not using them regularly the days of not using them outweighs the days you do.

You just need to realise for them few workouts you are compromising recovery and gains and decide if this is necessary so in the long run they stick to their programme and thus the long term goal is more important than short term

I welcome soreness after my workouts... like today my legs are f'n dead cuz I got to do both squats and leg press on top of my normal leg routine last night and they are pretty worn out. Soreness let's me know I pushed them to their limit and they will build up that much more :
