I am not going to see my PT again until the end of the week and I have a question maybe someone here can answer. Along with this annoying hip bursitis, I have been dealing with shin/calf pain on the same leg which my PT believes it is caused by my hip troubles. It's still hurting quite a bit and I want to walk 2k with the kids at school on Tuesday so I've been trying a little self-massage. The pain is right along the inside of the shin bone, fairly deep. I have noticed that if I rub my fingers down that area, I can feel knots in the muscle, one in particular is quite big and painful to push on. The other leg, which does not hurt, feels normal with no lumps.

Is it ok to keep massaging these lumps to try to make them go away or will I make the worse?
