I have a knot in my back and from looking at anatomical pictures it looks like a tendon that hurts. It hurts when I touch it and it "clicks" when I move my arm a certain way and when I do exercise. Should I stop exercising? What kind of doctor should I see? How would tendonitis be treated if that is the cause? Thanks
Thanks, I do go to a gym, and that’s how I noticed the problem.

How to identify and treat injury resulting from over use
tendonitis is caused by weak muscles, your demands on the body are higher than the muscle can produce @ this time, therefore, the tendon gets used more than it should cuz the muscle can’t;; ends up inflaming the tendon since the muscle can respond with more flexibility & tension than the tendon can;; ends up inflamed;; remember that the tendon is attached from the muscle to the bone;; so it’s GONNA pull on whatever bone it’s attatched to (abnormally, @ hence, the "clicking";; you need to get a doc to diagnose you, then you need PT (ask the doc);; the PT can differentiate which muscle(s) is/are responsible;; they will incorporate stretches, exercises, deep massage & ice treatments, IF it is tendonitis;;; too hard for you to do by guessing, & PT’s are the specialists behind kinetics of muscle & bone…your best bet…good luck…but the PRIMARY thing to do is to learn WHAT is causing the tension to the tendons;; once you do that, then treat it, cont to treat @ home, too, it won’t return..again, good luck!!
Go to your doctor, get physical therapy from a physical therapist. Join a gym, ask a trainer about how to strengthen the muscles in your back, then do them.
