How to get rid of muscle knots?

I broke my humerus bone about 7 weeks ago and now im experiencing a severe muscle knot in my shoulder. I have tried massage but it has little affect. Are there any specific massage technique that I can use that will get rid of this?

I bet you could use some magnesium. If you’re trying to mend a bone, you should probably be taking it anyway – but magnesium also has a lot to do with nerves and these crampy muscles.

Not sure what to do – you could take two or three one-a-day vitamin pills a day for a while. Those will have a little magnesium in them – but you could probably use a bigger shot of it to begin with. I know NOW Foods makes a good big magnesium pill with vit D and zinc and calcium – you could take a couple of those a day for a week or so. I bet those would help.

A good big dose of vitamin D might help with cramps too.
