Quick question Muscle knots

Hi everyone, basic update, I’m going to be working on adding in Buhner herbs. Luckily I have a background in herbs so it’ll help. I’ll be finishing antibiotics in the next week and a half. Still doing research and such. The keurig harboring mold got tossed. Switching to a glass and stainless steel electric kettle and mainly tea. Could have been the mold but I’ll see later if my stomach can handle coffee. I was mainly getting hot water from it ok swamp water.

So to the question. Muscle knots. I have weird knots. Yes it’s been checked and brushed off by the dr as part of fibro. Can these be part of Lyme or a Coinfection? Many symptoms make me think I have Bart and just wondering if that’s part of it. I’m having a few more pronounced things since hitting this time of antibiotics. like oddly breaking out but I’m staying the course and supporting my body. I am losing weight since going keto (I don’t want to feed the Lyme)but lumps (in the muscles)are more pronounced with the skin break outs. I saw another post saying it’s Lyme and coinfections coming up to the surface. I just didn’t know if muscle knots were in the category of Bart or Lyme or another coinfection.


Appreciate all the help! I’m still here learning!

Muscle knots, or triggerpoint knots are not really visible from the surface but you can feel some with light pressure as that area of your muscle wont "part" and flow like the rest of it. And some can be very deep since we have layers of muscle in some areas.

A foam fitness roller is a good place to start on larger body areas to get warmed up for the real deal- individually addressing each knot with sustained pressure (golf ball, thumb ect) or any wear from 15 to 30 seconds. If a general medium area is tightened up, then lighter pressure with larger diameter and more time (3-5 min) can be used with a lacross ball. This usually needs repeating many times for weeks. Once knots are better, then you can strengthen the area, as you can not rebuild muscle properly with out first addressing the knots.

After learning several different versions of these treatments from clinicians, I have saved about 5K USD doing this on my own. Standard "strengthening" physical therapy did not do anything before I learned about addressing muscle knot release first.

Physical Therapy has really helped with my muscle tightness. Most places offer complementary screens, they'll let you know if they think they can help you. Could be worth looking into.
