Can I take pain relievers before a workout to head off aches and pains?

No one is really sure if taking such painkillers will prevent aches and pains such as cramps and/or muscle soreness. Most experts agree however, it is better not to. More important: Cramping or pain is your body’s way of telling you something is not right. Masking pain in order to exercise could aggravate an injury. If you are just feeling a little leftover muscle soreness though, taking aspirin, ibuprofen or Tylenol before your exercise can make you feel better.
