Has anyone ever massaged and not get any swelling? I first started massaging (regular lotion, no herbs, ~300 rotations) a few months ago (late October) and initially I got about an inch worth of swelling that would gradually disappear. I was consistent with massage for a few weeks. However, I slacked on massaging during the holidays (a lot of traveling) and recently I started massaging again (regular lotion, ~300 rotations) but I don't appear to get any swelling (measured). 
I drink water continuously throughout the day but maybe I need more... I get no less than 2 liters daily, which is really good for me b/c I used to have a bad habit of hardly ever drinking water. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
