Trigger points: You are touching muscle spasms called a trigger point. Sometimes a nerve is traveling through the tight muscle causing what you describe. Gentle self massage to the area like you have been doing is a good start. If persists, a doctor can inject a little lidocaine and a tiny amount of kenalog (triamcinolone) steroid and it will resolve the muscle spasm.
