I have a knot in my lower back the size of a quarter. I have tried cold compress, heat pads and self massage. This thing does want to go away and is causing me severe lower back pain. Anyone have any ideas for a remedy?

    Be carful with lower back twinges, I'd see a sports therapist so they can give you some exercises to do
    I use a foam roller & hockey ball for my kinks but I wouldn't recommend just rolling your lower back unless you've had some guidance

    If it's a knot you can actually feel you could try having someone press on it for 30 seconds to a minute or until they feel the knot release.
