Hi there
Thanks for the query
Do you have any pain at the back of the neck that radiates to the upper limb?
These knots could be due to localised muscle spasm due to nerve irritation, especially if you have Cervical spondylosis.
Take Tablet Diclofenac with Thicolchicoside combination twice a day after meals and Tablet Rabeprazole twice a day before meals for 5 days. These are prescription drugs. You can take Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day after meals and Tablet Ranitidine twice a day before meals for 5 days as over the counter medication.
Do get physiotherapy ultras therapy or TENS therapy to provide you best relief.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
