Knot Having Much Fun

When I got sick with Lyme disease, I'm fairly certain my back and neck muscles signed some kind of bizarre contract with the Lyme spirochetes granting them full permission to build their city in my muscles. There are countless very stubborn (and quite painful!) muscle knots all along the muscles in my back and up my neck that refuse to release, much to the frustration of my massage therapist. I get massages at least once a week; I've tried visualization, heat, pretty much anything you can think of.

Two night ago, during my massage, the knots finally gave in and broke up! I was ecstatic and for once, pain-free in my back and neck! However, when I woke up the next day--yesterday--every one of those pesky knots were back and the pain was back. I guess those busybody spirochetes built their city right back up while I was sleeping. Today, the pain in my neck is ridiculous. It feels like I have whiplash. It hurts to turn my neck. I feel like a little old lady!

I have a lot more energy now, so I know the knots are not merely from being inactive. I also never had them before I got sick. I'm curious, do other Lymies have this same problem with muscle knots? Anyone have any luck with getting rid of the knots?
