Hope you have found relief. If not ask for a trigger point injection. They are very helpful to me

I’ll add dry needling in the trapezius as an alternative to trigger point injections. It can break up knots as well.
PTs trained in dry needling can do it so it could be easier to access than injections done by docs.
Insurance may not cover dry needling as part of PT but usually the extra charge for dry needling is not too much.
