This reminds me of the times when I went back to the gym after a longer break. The agony of the first few weeks.
What you can do is buy sports/muscle cream to rub into your muscles. I am not sure what its called (in the U.S.), but you should be able to find it at any drug store. Basically it heats up the area (burns like hell in other words). I use it for soccer. Helps me quite a bit.
Also, using Creatine might be an idea as well. It helps muscle restitution and peak performance.
The other things you should do is pay special attention to your nutrition and amount of sleep. If you take care to eat right (remember to take a vitamin pill as well) and sleep a bit longer than normal you will soon see results.
Either way, even if you do nothing things will get better.
