I think I have a "knot" right below my left shoulder blade?

Question

It hurts and it feels like a giant knot. I was going to have hubby put some icyhot on it when he gets home but on the label it says "if pregnant or breastfeeding ask a health professional before use." I'm pregnant and it is 9:30 Sunday night so I can't really get ahold of my doctor...

What else can I do to ease the pain? If I ask hubby to massage that area will it help? Don't laugh at me, lol, I haven't had a knot in a long time and I can't remember how to treat them. It really hurts. Help!

Answer 1

Don't use the icy-hot.  I agree that you should have hubby rub it and use heat on it.  I am sorry you're in pain and I hope you feel better.

Answer 2

sorry for calling you crabby:[
