Pain down right side of spibe (like lots of tiny knots)

Hi, I get a lot of pain and discomfort in the centre of my back down the right side of my spine. It feel s like there are lots of tiny knots there. I go for a deep tissue massage once a month but after a couple of days the pain is back. It is very crunchy in that area as I can feel it myself. Any advice on what might be causing it or what it is would be appreciated

Thanks

Sounds like your back muscles are cramping . I use magnesium spray to help the cramping then stretching the area helps a lot. Using a lidocaine patch on the area helps prevent the cramping. See doc for X-ray May be a under line issue causing the muscles to knot up.

i have small tiny micro tears in the back muscles from lifting . Now don’t lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk. PT has been helpful to help stretch and strengthen core muscles.
