I have that problem ; with the extreme tightness also,,,My doctor has given me a cortisone shot there before!
I now use tizantine , muscle relaxer for spasms too,, I can only take half of the 4 mg pill because it knocks me out if I take a whole one!

Try stetching out the rhombiod area. Could give some relief. Baclophen helps a lot for the muscle spans. Sure helped me.

The area under my shoulder blade hurts all the time too. I have never mentioned it to the neurologist because it never occured to me that it might be related to MS. Thanks.
