I have a knot in a muscle in my left shoulder, causing nerve pain to shoot down my arm, and now it hurts so bad I can’t even massage it .
Iv’e been to the doctors,going on four months now. i got a cortizone shot which 3 weeks ago, which easied the pain, and went for an mri last week , they still can’t do anything for me. it hurts so bad now. i.m just looking for something that could ease the pain somewhat. shots , therapy doesn’t work. Some massage tecnique, a gel, or rub. honey, magnet, anything. Please help!!

have you tried a muscle relaxer such as zanaflex? also moist heat 3 to 4 time a day helps loosen the muscle. I get knots in my neck and back due to fibromyalgia. They get very big and hurt so much sometimes I can’t move my head. I get injections of lidocaine and a steroid in the knots about every 6 weeks it is a tempory fix but helps quite a bit. It usually helps the pain for about 4 to 41/2 weeks.
If the pain is shooting down your arm, it more than likely is coming from a disc pinching a nerve in your neck. If you have chronic problems with this I suggest going to see a neuro surgeon or at least a doctor to get a referal to see one. It may feel like you have a knot in your shoulder muscle because your nerve from your neck runs down your back, into your shoulder and arm. Any of these locations can feel the pain when the nerve is actually being pinched in your neck. I know from experience.
