Anyone experience this? I have what appear to be stress knots around my shoulder blades. That, I can live with. However, it appears they bump against some nerves that go into my shoulders, which of course affects my swimming.
My question is, what have you done to combat this? I have seen a massage therapist, a chiropractor, but this keeps coming back. I use heat and cold on the areas, to no avail. Thoughts?

One more thing I thought of this morning related to back pain, posture.
Be sure that you are not slouching, and your shoulder blades are lying flat on your back, and the tops of the shoulder blades are approximately level.
It is kinda counter intuitive since it seems like you are tightening muscles that you want to stretch out, but you don't want to stretch those muscles, you want to let then be relaxed and heal themselves.
