  Muscle knots can be attributed to continued passive use of muscles. When it is in an active use it is a muscle spasm that happens. |n a knot the contracted muscles never relaxes as if it is in continuous use. Whereas in a pinched nerve, the sciatic nerve is compressed or bruised by a spike, a carrie, or a herniated disk or bone and the surrounding muscles usually do not permit the nerve enough space and elasticity to move away. This can cause inflammation in the area, pain, backache, numbness, radiating pain, and other concommittent symptoms.

  There is yet another reason for such pain which resembles both these and that is when you make an awkward movement, an airpocket is created where air enters and when you return to normal position the pocket is sealed and the trapped air do not permit the person a normal posture due to pain.

  All these can usually go away with relaxation of the back and the back muscles. A relaxed back muscle permits enough space for the movement of the pinched nerves, it can relax the knots in the muscles, and it can also permit the trapped air to escape. Usually the heat in the bed and the relaxed muscle condition in the sleep remove these conditions and bring on normalcy.

  Acupressure given between the Index finger and Thumb on the back side of the palm usually relaxes the back and help recovery.
  Using heat therapies of various kinds also gives relief. In homeopathy one single dose of Rhus Tox 1M usually cures the malady. |n the case of gaseous disturbances, Lycopodium 200C single dose will help. It is usually a tired and dehydrated muscle that indulge in passive use when the brain command for the use had long before been over and the muscle do not relax to normalcy after use. It can also be a product of a stressed mind. If it recurs often it should be seen and investigated whether there is a dystrophe condition behind the malady. Muscular dystrophe has its root in the stem cells region of the brain. So medicines or vaccinations disturbing this area can have these kind of adverse affects and should be looked into. People with Gluten allergy and other kind of ailments coming from the same source can also experience weak muscle syptoms including twtching and jerks in muscles. Phosphorus 30 three times a day three globules each is curative in most of these kind of ailments along with Gelsemium 30. If anxiety is accompanied with the ailments, Natrum Mur is to be taken in higher potencies. Kali Phos is another medicine of value in the nervous conditions of the kind.

  Medicines should be used in consultation with a homeopath.

  The major difference is the quality of the pain. Nerve pain tends to be sharp and shooting and can also include such sensations as tingling, numbness, weakness, hot or cold, in the area of the obstruction and also along the nerve’s pathway. Muscle pain is usually dull and achy and concentrated in one area, although they can sometimes refer pain to other locations.
