Article: “Slow toilet” can mean one of two things. Either the bowl isn’t filling quickly, or it isn’t draining quickly. If you’re dealing with the latter, the drain is likely clogged. You’ll need to unclog the toilet. If the bowl isn’t filling quickly enough, it could be an issue with the tank, like a low water level. The tank is the upright portion of the toilet, where you find the flushing handle. Lay the tank cover on the floor carefully; the heavy porcelain can potentially damage your floors. The flapper is a piece of plastic or rubber which sits over the valve at the bottom of the tank. Unless your toilet isn’t flushing at all, there should be a chain connecting this to the trip lever, a small arm running from the flushing handle.  The chain should have just enough slack for the flapper to rest over the valve, sealing it. But it should be tight enough to lift the flapper when the flushing handle is used. When you flush the toilet, the flapper should stay open for 2-3 seconds. Otherwise, the bowl won't be getting enough water. Performing this adjustment is rather simple. The chain should run through a hole in the flushing handle. You can easily disconnect the chain, and place a different link through the hole to adjust the chain’s overall length. The chain should be left with about half an inch of slack. Adjusting the chain means you may come into contact with the water in the toilet’s tank. As long as you wash your hands afterwards, this is perfectly safe.

Find the source of the problem. Lift the tank cover. Check the chain connecting the flushing handle to the flapper. Adjust the chain if needed.
Article: R.I.C.E is a treatment method for sore muscles that stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Following the principles of R.I.C.E can help with muscle soreness.   Resting simply means taking a break from your normal activities. If your muscles are sore, take it easy for a few days and allow them to heal.  Ice the sore area for 15 to 20 minutes at a time three times a day. You can use a bag of frozen vegetables, ice cubes placed in a plastic Ziplock bag, or an ice pack from the supermarket. Never place a store bought ice pack directly on your skin, however. You should always wrap it in a towel before application.  Use a compression bandage to reduce swelling of the sore area. You can buy such a bandage at a local drugstore. Apply as directed. You may want to check with your doctor if you have a family history of blood clots before using a compression bandage. Elevate the sore area, if possible. It's best to elevate a sore muscle above the heart whenever you have the opportunity to do so. Heat can help with sore muscles. Soaking in a warm tub of water for about 20 minutes can help ease sore muscles. Some people claim Epsom salt helps ease sore muscles. You can add a handful of Epsom salt to a warm bath and allow it to dissolve. You can find Epsom salt at most local pharmacies. If your muscles are still sore 2 or 3 days after treatment, consider applying heat. You can use a heating pad or run warm water over a washcloth. If you use a heating pad or a heated blanket, make sure you do not fall asleep with it on as this can be a burn hazard. Over-the-counter pain relievers, like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, can be used to treat sore muscles. Take any medications as directed on the label. If you're on any prescription medications currently, you may want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking over-the-counter pills to make sure they do not interact poorly with your existing medications. Foam rolling is an inexpensive technique to get an at-home massage. A foam roller, which can be purchased at many sports good stores, is a foam cylinder that's 6 inches in diameter. To use a foam roller, lie on the floor with the foam roller beneath you. Gently roll your body along the foam roller where the muscle is sore. Do this 5 to 6 times a week for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. You can look up more specific foam rolling techniques online. Websites like YouTube may provide tutorials. You can also check out How to Use a Foam Roller.
