@nedlm10 Creatine and protein intake have been mentioned plenty here. Adding my voice to that!
Three things that I have found help with muscle soreness:
1) Elemental magnesium intake. I use Magnesium Glycinate and get some from my electrolytes. I take a rather high daily dose, over 1g.
2) Topical magnesium. I prefer adding a magnesium salt to a hot bath (related to point 3). But a soaked cloth applied to the sore muscle works too.
3) Heat exposure. Sauna or hot water (all but head submerged)
Hope you can find relief without sacrificing exercise intensity, volume or frequency!
