Answer 2

yea in fact a lot of the time when you have high stress you might feel shooting pain in your muscles high stress cause high tension...Sometimes when my fiance is under high stress he gets knots the size of small baseballs underneath his shoulder blades and in the small of his back a lot of the time rubbing it will make it better along with some anti-inflammatorys. Just be careful that your knots don't turn into something serious like a herniated disk. Especially if you have felt this way before then sometimes the flare up's can be worse than the initial pain...hope this helps and you feel better..Otherwise if you find that you are not getting any better then you might want to see a doctor so he can prescribe either something for your stress or something for you pain
