What Do Knots On Neck Indicate?

I had a lot of knots in my neck in the back on the right side especially right under the base of my skull and had a massage last night, today the lower part of my jaw and down that side of my neck feels slightly numb and a little tingly at times. Is this from swelling from the massage or something else?

These knots can be lymph node swelling.
I will advise you clinical examination and further investigation like CBC, ESR, CRP.
MRI spine may help you.
You may need antibiotic after confirming diagnosis.
Another possibility of lymphoma.
