How closely related is muscle knots located on your back and Stress, anxiety?
Well here is my story. I have been bodybuilding / power lifting for the past 9 1/2 years. For the past year I have been lifting weight really late in the night and have not been getting to much sleep. (lifting heavy and hard). about 1 month ago I had a nervous break down. (due to school, work, the 2nd anniversary of my mothers passing etc.) Went to the doctor everything checked out above positive. Doctor says I am stressed out. He recommends acupuncture, but I have not tried it yet. I have tried massage therapy. and come to find out that I have large knots on my back. I guess my real question is that when my not go away will I be able to function better in the area of stress.

It sounds like your adrenal glands and system are stress out and you are on the edge of overtraining.
Massage can help get rid of the tension and help you sleep better. Acupuncture is really helpful too. I would do both because it sounds like you are really bad off.
