Dr. Steven Shannon answered

Scapula fracture: Scapula fractures are mainly treated nonoperatively but fractures that involve the Glenoid may require surgery. Increasing pain at this point could be a result of you increasing your activity level(maybe too quickly) or could be a sign of fracture displacement. Either way you should follow up with your Orthopaedic surgeon.
