Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly thanks for using HealthcareMagic site , I had gone through your question and understand your concerns .. I hope you feel better soon , i think you may have arthritis or tendinitis as they may show your symptoms . You may use painkillers ( NSAIDs ) like tylenol 400mg tabs when needed as they will help in reducing your pain and inflammation , hot gentle massages with topical anti-inflammatory gels , muscle relaxants , B12 vitamin supplements will be effective for most of cases . in more chronic and severe cases steroid tabs or injections may be prescribed if required . If these knots persists or increase in mass i recommend some lab investigations and X ray and follow them up with your orthopedic for proper evaluation and management . Please click and consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
