My latissimus has been having spams that last acouple secs at least 5 times a day for the last month. im not sure what triggers it. i do have some knots. but im not sure massage would or if its a nerve problem?

Consider massage.: I would assume you are not overly using the muscle by pulling heavy objects. Since a nerve is involved in making the muscle contract, I would follow up with your PCP. Sometimes applying heat can relax the muscle.
