Location: Keeping up with the numbers!		No heat, but above the shoulder a knot that is causing discomfort. We have been rubbing with DMSO and Sore No More. Any suggestions? Would you suggest time off, vet visit or chiro/acupuncture?

Location: South MS		Acupuncture!  My horse took a bad fall, hurt her neck/shoulder/back.  Had her acupunctured, on muscle relaxer, and put on her BOT sheet.  She has gotten a LOT of relief since then.

Location: Gainesville, TX		It may be a hematoma from a kick or something (will go away on its own). Have you thought about having it ultrasounded to see if its a muscle knot vs. hematoma? Muscle knots would benefit more from massage and acupuncture. Again, a hematoma can be cooled down but will generally go away on its own over time.

Location: Keeping up with the numbers!		Thank you for all of your responses. This happened sometime Friday. There is no mark on her neck and no heat to bump. I had a equine message therapist work on her Saturday night. She thought it might take some time and a couple of sessions. Unfortunately, not much as changed from when the message was done. Was just looking for some suggestions, before I called the vet.
