What does a muscle knot feel like?

I have a small hard bump in between my lower neck and right shoulder that aches at times. If i turn my head to the right it is painful, like a stiff neck. However, the pain appears to be coming from the bump. Googling it, i saw that muscle knots can cause "small hard bumps or nodules, that occur in the neck and shoulder muscle (trapezius muscle)". I also saw it can be caused by poor posture, poor sleeping position and can occur in sedentary people. I do have a poor posture, and live quite a sedentary lifestyle.

Has anyone else had a muscle knot? And if so, what did/does it feel like? Also, does this sound like a muscle knot, or more likely to be something else?
