Question 1

my boyfriend shoulder hurts him really bad i'd there anything that i can do to ease the pain in his shoulders? can giving him a massage help?

Accepted Answer

Seems reasonable,but: Hard to say without more history, such as exactly where in the shoulder (muscles around it, or in the joint), trauma, and so on. In general, massage is safe, but if it causes more pain at the time, stop and have him checked out.

Question 2

why does any light activity make my body tense up real bad where i am in a lot of pain. my boyfriend tries to massage me but it hurts to be touched.

Accepted Answer

Yuo cant touch this: Hyperalgesia  is when simple touch elicts pain. it can be a side effect of opioid medications.  Fibromyalgia is asociated to specific trigger points . Rest fluids correcting potasium and magnesium may be required based on blood tests.   Exercisse is helpful, mindfull meditation, streching  Arnica  batch flowers and acupuncture are alternatives

Question 3

i have taken deep tissue massage and my foots are swelled up and paining badly.. now its 13 days and swelling is still there and little pain too... ca?

Accepted Answer

Podiatrist: Did the swelling follow the deep massage of your feet which could have caused trauma? Painful feet with associated swelling would be best evaluated by a podiatrist. If no primary foot pathology is found you will be referred to a physician or rheumatologist for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 4

is it a bad idea to get a scar covered up by a massage?

Accepted Answer

I don't understand: Scars are permanent. If a scar can be made less apparent by massage, there is no problem with that, but I am not sure i understand your question correctly.

Question 5

thai massage caused back to crack, is that good or bad?

Accepted Answer

Neither : As long as the crack was not painful, it was not "bad."  having your back cracked routinely can make you feel like you need to have it done all the time- so not necessarily a great thing.

Question 6

got a deep tissue massage, but right after i got bad chills that went away. today my back hurts a little? any ideas?

Accepted Answer

It is ok.: Deep tissue massage can cause delayed muscle soreness so i would not worry about that.  Give it another day or two and you should be back to your baseline.  It is ok to ice your back three times a day for 20 minutes at a time.

Question 7

how to massage the neck or back safely when needed? please can u give instructions or a video link ?can we harm ourself by massaging in bad ways ?

Accepted Answer

Some Caution: The neck houses a lot of important structures is a short, relatively compact area which should not be trifled with.  Before arbitrary massage you would benefit from knowing some of the important anatomy.  There are many good anatomic guides but this link seems to give straight forward information.

Accepted Answer

See below: I would suggest starting with my pcp.  It sounds like some component of muscle spasm.

Question 9
