My first harvest i used regular scissors. Never again.
Yeah it makes no sense that my back doesn't hurt. I sat on a metal work platform.

I personally don't like the spring scissors. I like the ones that Micheal's or Joanne's sell. I think they are cloth scissors? Super sharp. The key is to have like 3-4 of them sitting in a cup of rubbing alcohol and constantly rotate them so they don't get super sticky.

anyone know if a heating pad helps tight muscles? My triceps are killing me and the sides of my back/side up to my shoulder blades. Any muscle relaxers to looks at? Been eating potassium like bananas to help with cramps and stuff but I've been sore/tight for two days now and had to work out again today and it's just stacking up lol

no! do not use heating pads on tight muscles. get ice packs and aspirin. and if you can, stretch out your arm and traps. its very hard to stretch traps.. but google it. there are ways.

okay, I'm glad you said that because I literally had the heating pad and was about to plug it in lol. I know I've been twisting and bending every which way and only get quick spikes where I can feel it stretch for a split second, stretching your back sucks! I have to do it a lot too because I have two huge ropes going down the sides of my spine and if I don't keep it loose it actually gets so tight it bends the spine, my chiropractor thought I had scoliosis until she realized it was the muscles bending it. Bought to hit up google for those stretches, and I have some frozen vegis to use and some ibuprofen in replace of the aspirin (is that okay?), thanks for the heads up

thats not good advice. epson salt bath is not good for tight muscles. that kind of bath involves hot water, in order for the salt to dissolve somewhat, and as mentioned, hot and tight muscles is bad. using a cold compress is good.

I use these too, I took the spring from a worn out pair and moved it to the new scissors and saved my hands some pain. I Hate New Scissors!!!That reminds me, I just picked up these bad boys...

yea, ibuprofen is great for sore/tight muscles. after you cool down your arm and shoulders, try to stretch. after a day or so of cold compress.. you can then use heat to stimulate blood flow. the reason why you muscles are "tight" is because you have shocked them by tearing the muscle fibers, and so you muscles is contracting to protect the torn areas. why it hurts is because there is good blood flow going to that site... cold compress will help with the pain and stiffness. once you overcome that, and allow the muscle to recover for a day or so, then you can apply heat.
