I know there is myofascial massage, therapeutic, swedish, hot stone, and a bunch of others. can someone let me know the difference? I have had sweedish massage several times but another type may be more beneficial.

Hot stone massage is more gentle than the others. Just make sure the person doing it knows what they are doing so they don't burn you with the stones.

It is impossible to recommend a specific modality without knowing what your condition is.
Regardless of all the different types of massage, it is the skill, experience and compassion of the massage therapist that matters the most. Look for a massage therapist with good credentials and who you feel you can trust. They are the best person to decide what will best for you.
With that said, its fun to try out different types of massage, just like trying a new restaurant, its fun and you just might find something you will get hooked on.

some make you feel good, some make you relax, some even make you a little frisky.
