I'm really sorry to hear that... How hot and long did you use it for? Combined with traction?

I think cold is good for new injuries or active damage for the most part, for just lowering the inflammation at first. After that heat is effective.

I have had worsening once in my life after heat but it was after a very long session that was way too hot. That said, it got better the next day and heat has only helped me since. I guess you'll have to experiment.

My experience is similar. At the time I had more pain, hot showers would make it worse. I believe colder showers and also less showers than usual helped to reduce the inflammation. Now hot showers do not cause pain anymore, I have not seen benefits as of yet though.
I have a similar experience with traction, seems to make it worse. But traction and VED are the only things I read about that work for many people. Maybe we are doing something wrong.
