Ha yeah! Mine was too – very tight and therefore painful, even with a alpha ball.  Give it a few days/weeks of mob-ing with it and then see if you can work in the supernova at some point.  Or if you have one of those yellow big golf balls, that’s harder than an alpha ball but less hard than a supernova. so you can transition hardness from alpha -> yellow big golf ball -> supernova.  the transition shows improvement in the area, as healthy tissue should not be painful when you press into it…
