Also, I did see a massage therapist. She worked on the particular spot in my lat for over 30 minutes. That made it feel worse for 2 days, but after, things felt great. The knot in my back originally was the size of a baseball, but was reduced to a small ball.

What is concerning to me is that now the knot(s) have moved under my scapula, where I cannot reach them, and the pain has traveled from my lat to the middle of the left side of my upper back. Why would this happen? Perhaps I should revisit the massage therapist? I’m just worried it’d be a waste of money, and that myofascial release may not be the answer in this case.
