Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that incorrect pressure in the area concerned during massage session has caused muscle spasm.

You can take muscle relaxant medicines like Dan-MR or Hifenac-MR (Paracetamol 325 mg + Diclofenac Sodium 50 mg + Chlorzoxazone 250 mg) twice a day for three days. You can do heat compressions in the area with hot water bag or electric belt. Applying Diclofenac Gel (Volini) locally will help, too. Do not go for long walk for 3 days and give rest to the area.

If pain does not subside in 3 days, then you might have to visit a physician for physical examination of the area and further investigations.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
