Painful Muscle Knots On Hip

Posted by Jackie, Alumna Mentor @travelgirl, Aug 19, 2018

Has anyone been woken up by a severe lower back hip pain? Wow the other night I woke up to excruciating pain on the back side of my hip. I could feel knot
that formed on the right side lower back. Just about the hip. Oy Vey. It settled down after i was able to move positions. But talk about painful.
I went to gym and worked out later that day it was still sore and knotted. I then went for a massage on Friday. The massage therapist said boy you have a couple knotts that you need to break down. The massage helped but I went home and put a heating pad on the area with BenGay. It feels better the last 2 days.
I was wondering what causes this happen? It this a cause for concern? I never had a skin knot before so, how do we prevent Skin knots from occuring?

In reply to @colleenyoung "Good distinction between knots and cramping, @lioness @travelgirl, you might want to try a foam roller..." + (show)

@marinelastef yes please do as the not knowing is frustrating . God bless you how horrible your problem sounds sometimes I wonder what the heck are Dr,s doing to us Its good your going to Mayo hopefully they can help you tell them what you told me or you may have already Our bodies are all tied together if one thing hurts it affects other parts of our body Good luck I,ll be praying for you.

@colleenyoung @lioness thanks. It feels like a skin knot. The pain is closer to the surface.. The heating pad, ben gay, and Ibuprofen is helping.. I also used a roller too. Plus, I went back to the gym and lifted weights tonight. Im going to try and work it out?
Its super hot here in Florida. So it could be a little dehydration. Not really sure what can be causing it? Im going to give it some time and see before I go to the doc.
