Cassy,
The back on my neck right into the shoulder blades is in constant agony. Even massages do not really break up my knots. While I do believe it is anxiety related maybe it is how you sleep? Sometimes pillows can get old and can kill your neck more and more over time.
The best I can recommend are hot cloths over the back of the neck and doing neck rolls when the pain is reallly bad.
I hope this helps.

Jessica
