What does a knot in shoulder and arm pit indicate?
Patient: Hello, Last week I slept on a futon at a friend s house. The next day I discovered a knot in my left shoulder. The knot is about the size of a golf ball and inhibited me from full range motion in my shoulder. I noticed my shoulder seemed pushed further forward than usual. During stretching I noticed the knot was not only below my clavicle as well as I had another knot under my arm pit. Since stretching I m experiencing pulling and spasms. Doctor: Hello,  The symptoms seem to be related to a pulled muscle.  I suggest using muscle relaxant such as Baclofen.  I also suggest using Voltaren gel for local application.   I recommend gentle stretching.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi, General &Family Physician
