Hello,
The painful knot may be due to a muscular pain. When the muscles are painful sometimes knots can happen in the area due to muscular fibers being hurt.
You may need to take some paracetamol and ibuprofen and apply local warm compresses in the area. Seeing a physiotherapist might be a good idea as well.
I hope this is helpful and answers to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
