You mean like a cramp? I get cramps in one spot on leg regularly every few weeks. It's so painful when it first kicks in.

No, I've gotten those too.
Those feel like my muscles are pulsing with pain and twitching.

This one just feels like i have a group of muscles that decided to tighten up into like what feels like a ball. Hurts when i stand up or sit down or when I press on it.

Hope it goes away soon almost been a week.

I've never gotten a knot/trigger point in my legs.

The way you describe it, it almost sounds like you had an allergic reaction to a bug bite.

My wife gets them occasionally. Massage helps.

I'm currently on day 10 of having a severe back pain. Taking like 6 ibuprofin's a day just to be able to move around. Sleeping is horrible and it doesn't feel like it's healing at all.

I've mostly been bed ridden/chair ridden. It's why I've been shitposting here the last week. Nothing else to do besides browse the internet and watch TV. Can't even focus enough to do my taxes.

I would have thought a bug bite too but i dont see any redness or swelling

Ive had a couple. Both were around my shoulder blades. Going for a massage worked them out both times.

Use it or lose it friends.

How long does the massage have to be?
I tried massaging myself but I get bored after like 5mins

Drink plenty of water. You can also massage the area starting gently then increasing the pressure.

If possible try rolling a tennis ball on the area.

looking up stuff online is always scary because they say cancer 50% of the time.

dunno what a charlie horse is

the best way to explain it is feels like a have a tumor there
idk

You're most likely talking about a muscle cramps then. Whenever I get them in my calf muscles I just try to stretch and massage it as best I can until the pain goes away.

I highly doubt you're going to develop cancer in your leg.

Try what I suggested but if it worsens or doesn't improve then go see a doctor. Or a massage therapist.

Both times I went to a professional masseuse for an hour massage. It probably didnt have to be that long though as within ten minutes I felt relief.
