Many times spasms take quite a while to become fully evident. So what you're experiencing is most likely from abuse extending from when you first started your excercises. Continuing proper nutrition and hydration, I would highly suggest that you consult a massage therapist to begin undoing the damage. Spasms can releave themselves naturally. However, keep in mind that it's ischemic tissue (lack of oxygen/blood). The massage therapist will be able to assist in bringing new blood/oxygen to the site. Myofascial release or trigger point therapy could work wonders. Just make sure your therapist actually knows what they're doing and it's not just for "relaxation".

I'll ask my massage mentor how you could perform self massage on yourself tomorrow.
