Should my back hurt this much from massage?
I read a post that to get rid of knots, if you lay on a tennis ball or baseball and just leave it in one spot for 10 seconds to a minute, it will help undo the knot. I’ve done it a bit and it’s helped, but last night I went all out, and now my back is sore as hell. Is that a good thing?
There was one part on my lower back where I left it there and my leg started to feel like it was on fire, like it was metal conducting heat. Does this mean I have a pinched nerve somewhere or what?
No, your back should not be hurting this much from massage. Yes, it could be an irritated or pinched nerve from staying in the same position on the ball too long (an example only).
However, I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they say.
