I completed my two months of physical therapy nearly two weeks ago. I immediately joined the fitness center at work, so I could continue to use the machines and continue the exercises that I was doing in PT. On Monday I did two big surgeries and put my back into spasm again. Tuesday evening I called around and found a place where I could get a massage. I had my hour long massage at 9:30 this morning. It's now 6 pm and my shoulders feel like they're bruised and actually feel HOT! The spasms seem to be gone, but the bruised sensation is rather uncomfortable. Since this is only my second massage that I've ever had (the first one was a month ago when the spasms were at their worst) I don't know if this is a normal reaction to such deep manipulation of the muscles. Can anyone tell me if this is normal, and how long it should last? My first massage also resulted in a bruised feeling and triggered a killer migraine, but didn't relieve the spasms. This one, thankfully, seemed to fix the spasms and hasn't triggered a migraine!
Thanks for any insight!
