I hope I did. Here are more thoughts: You are using the muscles on the left side of your back more than the right, for some reason. Sometimes it's carrying a baby, bag or purse. Maybe something at work causes you to work with your left elbow behind your body? I'd suggest getting a massage therapist or someone who isn't afraid to 'hurt' you a little to massage, rub, lift and roll the muscles on your left side all the way from your waist to your shoulder blade or the top of your shoulder. By massaging and warming the muscle area first, it will make it a bit less uncomfortable to then 'pinch' and lift the muscles to relax them. Don't have someone pinch only the skin--they need to pick up the muscle. Of course, a professional massage therapist may use muscle stretching techniques to help smooth these muscles. And there are more articles at http://SimpleBackPainRelief.com I hope this helps. Kathryn Hi Nadia,

I AM RIGHT HANDED BUT THAT'S NOT THE SIDE MY KNOT IS ON. IT'S DEEP UNDER MY LEFT SHOULDER BLADE AND I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH IT'S PAIN FOR YEARS. I'VE DONE THE TENNIS BALL BUT IT'S RELIEF, IF ANY IS VERY SHORT LIVED. WHILE I CAN BEGIN WORKING ON STRENGTHENING MY BACK, WHAT'S THE BEST IMMEDIATE REMEDY? ALL THE PAIN I FEEL STEMS FROM ONE SMALL POINT THAT I CAN LITERALLY PINPOINT. DOES ACUPUNCTURE HAVE ANY EFFECT? I READ A FEW OF YOUR ARTICLES ABOUT KNOTS AND HOW THEY COME ABOUT.
