I get random muscle knots in my back, which get worse when I'm under stress. The worse the stress, that more painful the muscles. It's been getting more frequent since the car accident I was in last year. Usually, the pain is in my lower back, and a quick self massage can relieve at least some of the pain.

But I've been noticing recently that it's moving to other areas of my back...Places I can't reach. My shoulder blades seem to be a popular choice now. I can't reach back there, so I gotta deal with my shoulders feeling like they wanna bend themselves backwards. Or it will still be in my lower back, but in a spot that's awkward to reach, so I make my arms sore trying to help my back. Stretching doesn't seem to help all that much, and I'm trying to avoid pain relievers, so I don't get another ulcer. =P

On a more positive note, I get to hang out with  sontock and  chibikitsune after work today, so that might help with the "stress" part of the situation. =\
