Muscle inflammation can be caused by many things. New challenges to the musculoskeletal system within a workout are meant to break down muscle to promote repair and respiration for strength gains, which is initiated through the inflammatory response. Injury will also elicit an inflammatory response for healing. It is important to know inflammation is a normal response in the body, and it is necessary for healing and repair. However, chronic inflammation is not normal.

If pain is limiting normal, everyday activity, increases throughout the day or is worse at night, or is present following an injury then I recommend following up with a professional.

The diagnosis of a pinched nerve can cover many different issues occurring. You can be having symptoms from decreased mobility in the joints between the vertebra of spine (facet joints), you can have inflammation of nerve tissue, you can have increased tension through the ligament and muscle tissue along the spine. Leaving this untreated can result in symptoms
lingering for longer periods of time or getting worse. However, the symptoms may get better depending on your activity. I always suggest following up on these symptoms if they are getting worse or if they are unchanged over the course of 5-7 days.

Thank you,
