Good morning, sorry to hi-jack the thread, but I have a question regarding red light therapy that I have not seen discussed. About two weeks ago I tried red light therapy with a device my wife bought for me. There are three settings, Low, Medium, and High, and two wavelengths, 660nm (Red Light), and 850nm (Near Infrared).

I have been dealing with permanently locked/spasmed muscles in my right side (oblique and flank muscles), which no doctor I've seen over the past three years can tell me why. Multiple procedures and treatments from doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapy techs, etc., etc. have not made any difference.

So, I used this flexible red light pad that can wrap around my right side for the recommended 20 minutes on the lowest setting. About 10 minutes after using this pad, my right side locked in a severe spasm/cramp and I had to lay down. Now, two weeks later, my right side is still in a painfully cramped condition to where I'm spending more and more time laying on my back in bed.

Has anyone experienced this, red light therapy causing more cramping instead of relieving it?
