For a very long time I've had bad painful knots in the same spot in my upper back. Sometimes for little parts of the day I don't feel them, but usually they hurt a lot on a regular basis. I've tried laying on a golf ball, I've had my friends/parents try and massage it out, I've tried to massage it out myself, and I use icy hot patches on it and the pain goes away for about an hour after i take the patch off, but it always returns to the same spot. I swim everyday for 2 hours and I do a dryland workout that involves medincine ball throwing, and I carry a backpack around school all day but it's usually very light. Could those be reasons for my back feeling this way, and if so, how can I get rid of these back knots, and what can I do to prevent them from coming back? Should I get a professional massage, or are there things I can do at home to help? Are there any stretches I can do to loosen them up? Feedback is appreciated. =]
