A member asked:
I have a large knot in the lower left side of my back it is causing excruciating pain. muscle relaxers and pain pills aren't working what is this?

Trigger Point/Spasm: This is likely a trigger point or a localized muscle spasm. Oftentimes TENS, acupuncture, massage, or trigger point injections can be of significant relief. I recommend that you seek out an acupuncturist or an interventional pain specialist for treatment.
