Out Of Ideas

ladyspriteI need to figure out how to deal with this. Unfortunately, my brain is not working very well right now.
I have knots in the muscles in my shoulders that are big enough and rigid enough that my husband, bless his heart, sprained his wrist trying to give me a backrub. This is leading to a headache bad enough that I can't quite focus my eyes.
Unfortunately, backrubs are out of the question, thanks to my poor sweetheart's injury after the last attempt. I can't take any NSAIDs, since I'm going in for surgery in less than a week (nothing major, and utterly elective, but invasive enough that I'm on a no-blood-thinning-meds regime for 2 weeks). Tylenol does nothing for muscle tension for me. A hot bath might work, but our bathtub isn't deep enough for me to soak up to my neck and shoulders.
Heating pads are helping a little, but as soon as I take them off, I knot back up again.
Ideas? Please?
