Best way to get knots out of hair?

After being sick and primarily bed ridden for months, my hair is full of knots. The last time I tried to get the knots out, it was pretty painful and I wound up cutting them out with a scissors.

If necessary, I will just cut the knots out, then go to a hair salon and get my hair cut short in layers. That might be my answer. But...does anyone here have any ideas or techniques for dealing with extreme hair knots?

I use my fingers in the morning, and then, after my shower and washing my hair with shampoo and detangling conditioner, I put in a leave in silicone based conditioner, and then I comb it out with a coarse hair detangling brush I bought at Bed, Bath and Beyond. You use the coarse brush even if you have fine hair, because there might still be tangles, and the bristles are farther apart.

Once my hair is dry, I use the fine hair detangling brush, and brush it out.
