I'm a 22 year old female and I have many knots in back. I try using a heating pad and then working them out with self massage (for the ones I can reach) and the tennis ball treatment thing for them as well. I can't take NSAIRAB like Ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory medicines because of my stomach ulcer. When I try to work the knots out that are in my shoulder blades, I get really bad shooting pain in my shoulder. I was wondering if anyone else experiences this? I can feel the knots in the shoulder blade "crunching" however they don't "release". I just don't know what else to do, seeming as I can't currently afford to go to a chiropractor or get a real massage. (By a professional, I pretty much have everyone and their mother rub my back if I can) Is there anything else I can try at home? These knots are very painful and are beginning to disrupt my sleep. Does it sound normal to get pain in my shoulder, shooting down my arm, and in parts of my face when I try to release the knots? I'm at a loss. Any advice, suggestions, or shared experiences would be much much appreciated.
