Has anyone used Icy/Hot for muscle soreness? And if so does it work?

It helps a little, but DOMS is really only cured with time and rest.

A hot bath with epsom salt would help. Massage, accupuncture, l-glutamine works for some people, increasing potassium intake can alleviate some of the pain, anti-inflamitories (don't take too many, or too often), a trip to the sauna, and, of course, rest. Any of these will help.

When I was in the Army this was obviously a problem. The best solution is good stretching. Sometimes we were given motrin (don't know if it worked)
