Massage and PAIN.........................?

[otterly evil]

I went for a massage yesterday.

When the same amount of pressure was applied to my upper body (back, arms) it was fine.

But when the same amount of pressure was applied to my calves, i nearly blacked out in pain.

I had no prior injuries in my legs, is this a normal reaction?
Are your calves just that much more sensitive?

no.. see a doctor or physio! maybe torn muscle!

Are you a runner or do you workout with your legs a lot? Massages typically hurt when your muscles are super tense. I don't get that in my claves, but in my lower back and hips.
