Can't tell: Really hard to tell without examining you. Unclear whether the masseuse helped or hurt. I'd suggest warm compress (I'm assuming it's been more than a couple days since) & active rest - light activity, walking, gentle stretching. If no better in 3 days, see physician or physical therapist. See physician pronto if pain down the leg. Hope that helps.

Injured you!: It is difficult to determine exactly what the injury was, but the pain indicates that the "repositioning" was not done correctly. Rest and applying ice to the painful area 15-20 minutes every couple hours, and taking Aleve (naproxen) or Advil should be helpful. Depending upon the level of pain and/or the time to recover you may need to see a physician. Bottom line: don't allow masseuse to make adjustments
