(Incidentally, for me, rolling was really painful and I haven't tried it again. I'd like to believe something was wrong somewhere, but I think I'll stick with regular stretching even though my hams are still REALLY sore two days after my first bout of single-leg Romanian deadlifts)

I hate to tell you, but it does hurt - A LOT - and it's supposed to - until you've done it for a while and the myofascial release process is farther along... I doubt something was wrong somewhere when you tried it. I'm still in the "it hurts a lot" stage, but I know the benefits will be worth it...
