Massage worsen back injury cause numb
I accidentally injured my back, somewhere above my left butt cheek. It causes tightness in my back and leg. So I decided to get a massage on the area. However, the back got worse with big bruise (about 3" in length and 1" in height) on my left butt cheek with worse backache along with slight numbness on my left toes (the big one and the one next to it)
The numbness feels like I have an additional skin wrap around my toes and they are not very sensitive to touch. The numbness kind of propagates along my leg upward. This happens within around a week and now, I feel slight numbness on the left side of my left leg just below my knee.
