Hi there.

From what you have described, there is a possibility that this can be a neglected or unnoticed fracture of the scapular bone.  This would usually present with deformity, pain, and all the neurologic symptoms.  It is best that you have Xrays done to the area and undergo specific treatment, and rehabilitation.

Regards and God bless.
