To the extent it is actual injury it&rsquo;s been getting better on my own, the only thing that really concerns me is internal changes in muscle tone though honestly it probably made my blood pressure healthier (hm, I should actually consider if <i>pressurization changes</i> might be behind new muscle behavior regimes in the extremities)</p>"}
