I have one right under the skull ? On the right side of my neck ? Can i use the gun ?

[@roseannerandoy1840]

Can I use the massage gun in my left side of my body (because I felt pain in that area) even though I am feeling a slight numbness and like electricity flowing in my left arm going to my middle and index fingers? I went to a PT for my back pain and was relieved from pain. But the sensation in my arms and fingers never go away.

It sounds like you have a pinched cervical nerve. I would recommend a chiropractor or osteopath. Good luck!

Will trigger points show up on diagnostic imaging such as MRI and Ultrasound?

[@GotYourBackwithDrMatt]

Yes, if the trigger point or muscle knot large enough you can see it in an MRI. MRI is the most sensitive imaging test available for seeing soft tissue masses.

​@@GotYourBackwithDrMatt So it is a visibly denser mass. Interesting. On the flipside, I'm assuming trigger points are NOT usually sites of chronic inflammation?
