Sounds gruesome - I can't stand deep pain / massage in my calves....
It was. Now I have a zit-like rash all over the hairy bits of my calf. Not sure I'll be able to have another massage next week...
Zit like rash yes I know that after-effect - not good. Shave it? Even so, it sounds horrible. Grim start to 2014 / M50 for you & you have my sympathy.
