Obvious to whom? Do you routinely need/take something like this after multiple games? What's the problem? Do others do this?

After 5 games I wouldn't rule out taking some.

Advil is a staple in my referee bag that goes to every game.

You mean you haven't seen the pictures of giant Advil bottles on this forum?

I typically don't take any pain reliever medication with me, but I occassionally do when I get home.

(Billy, I like Powerade Zero, too. I'll have to find out who has the best deal on them here. Probably not Circle K.)

Note to those who do take Advil, take it BEFORE your game.

A few years ago, I was having various lower leg and foot issues after I returned form a major knee surgery. I found that if I took just one dose of Advin before the game, I had no problems afterwards. But, If I waited until afterwards, the Advil would reduce the pain but the pain would persist for 2-3 days even if I kept taking Advil on the recommended schedule. The preventative ability of Advil (anti-inflammatory) is where it really worked best....not the pain reliever.

try the already made "uncrustables" frosen pb&j sandwhiches. no crust. keep them frozen till you need them, pack them in your bag. Perfect for between games or at half time. I swear by them!

Doh! how could I forget about those! My mother keeps them around for the grandkids. I prefer the PB and Honey. Never thought to take those along for the ref-ride. Good tip, +1.

Not a terrible suggestion either. I'd think a simple peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat would also carry you pretty well.
