I'm in pure agony!! (My NYE whine)

Also if you place your arm behind your back and open up your shoulder blade she will find a few knots underneath the edge of it with her thumb.when she presses these you should feel it right up into your head,very uncomfortable but very benifitial.Do the pressure trick again until the pain is down to a 3 or lower level.

When she is pressuring your knots ,you breathe air in and you mentally aim air at the area shes working on.

The shooting pains you describe tell me this might be something other than stiff muscles, but I'm certainly no expert. Maybe some kind of disc problem? Pinched nerve? You know, just a thought, exercise caution when it comes to amateur massage, it might not be the answer, seeing as how you don't really know what the problem is.

No recent falls? No falling asleep against the arm of a couch? Repetitive strain from not sitting properly at your computer? A reaction to the bite of an exotic Australian spider?

Good luck with it.

sounds like a pinched nerve to me..
