Muscle knots are abnormal areas within the muscle, which cause pain. The medical term for the muscle knots is myofascial trigger points. We do not know everything about what they are. When doctors have biopsied (cut a piece out of) muscle knots, some abnormal protein deposits seem to be present. Some treating practitioners believe that there is excessive connective tissue in these areas, but there is little evidence in the (unfortunately few) studies that have been done to support the idea of excess connective tissue.

There are 4 muscles making up the rotator cuff holding your arm in place. The top of your arm bone is basically hanging from the shoulder blade like a golf ball on a "t" with rubber bands but sideways.
The knot may be a damaged supra or infra muscle. Or your could have "floaters" - broken bone in the shoulder sack.
This is the trade off of having a joint that can rotate 360*.
Get an MRI.

Knots are a build up of lactic acid in the muscles.
