Sounds like my pain, only I have it on the right side. I can’t lift my arm up and can’t touch my arm to the side of my head. Thought it was from mopping, cleaning tables, lifting, etc. Also, I did a somersault in June and heard a crunch and felt pain. Just went to an orthopedic doc today. He took x-rays, said he saw nothing bad. He said my shoulder blade muscle was bruised and that I should get physical therapy. Haven’t tried it yet. I’m on Medicaid. Don’t know if any physical therapists accept that in this area. Good luck. Oh, and I find that heat helps ease my pain. Try one of those pads filled with rice and put it in the microwave. Also try hot water in the shower. Just let it spray on your shoulder for five to ten minutes. That helps me, and it’s free.

I had this same problem on the same side, same spot, actually. It appears you have seen quite a few professionals, so I’m guessing your situation is more severe than mine was, but I can relate on some level. I had just started a job that involved heavy lifting. I determined that the muscle was inadequately trained and thus too weak for the labor in which I was partaking. The muscle being affected is likely your trapezius. I started with a low intensity seated row. I did a low weight, 15 or more reps, 3 sets. Gradually I expanded to include lat pulldowns and upright row, and by this time, the pain was gone. I would recommend giving it time to heal before starting any kind of regiment, though. This would involve diligent icing techniques, and of course, resting that muscle. Good luck.

Go to a massage therapist, stop lifting everything if you can , eat high protein foods , get plenty of sleep, the body repairs muscles during sleep. take vitamins, and eat healthy , pro biotic yogurt stimulates the bodies immune system. make yourself as healthy as possible , keep stress to a minimum , do deep breathing at bed time and when waking. avoid caffeine and alcohol. have sex , do things that make you happy. and get a quartz crystal put it under your pillow, then carry it with you in a pocket , the healing powers of quartz are amazing. meditate. drink plenty of purified water ,keep well hydrated, in a few weeks of doing at least some of these things you will have significantly less pain.

Have you been to an orthopedic specialist? If you have not had results even from a chiro, it might not be a bad idea.
It could be an aggravated trigger point – but there are many doctors who don’t recognize trigger point issues, so even though you’ve seen doctors, they might not treat for that. I suggest you read the info from the links below for a bit more info. Massage therapy can help, so can receiving injections into the ‘knot’. Adding calcium/magnesium to your diet will help relax muscles, and make sure you are drinking enough fluids and water – dehydrated muscles will tend to knot up and cause they type of pain you have.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_poi… http://www.mamashealth.com/massage/trigg…
Get the MRI, and if that doesn’t provide an answer, then ask for a bone scan.
