11. In view of your pain, I'm glad to hear you ruled out a blood clot before you got that massage work.

If someone has a DVT, deep muscle work can release a preexisting clot -- which could be life threatening. (I had pain from an undiagnosed DVT and a physical therapist told me that, so I went to the MD before getting a massage -- thank goodness.)

So you did everything right. I'm glad you got some good help and are feeling better.
