HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Tension can cause neck and shoulder pain and may be associated with muscular spasm.
Spasm of the muscles may cause the feeling of masses or lumps or knots if the spasm is significant.
This can also occur if there is an infection in the area.
Applying a warm compress to the area three times daily and using anti inflammatory medications may be helpful.
This would include meds such as naproxen, cataflam, ibuprofen.
I hope this helps
