Hello,
Good day.
PAin in scapula is unlikely be due to hypothyroidism. Very rarely hyperthyroidism can cause osteoporosis and that can some times cause bone pain, but unlikely in your case. Hypothyroidism can cause muscle cramps, but no bone pains.
What medicine are you on? If you are on a medicine called Thyronorm or Eltroxin, you have hypothyroidism. If you are on a medicine called neomercazole, you have hyperthyroidism.
Also, in your initial test, if your TSH was high, you have hypothyroidism, and if your TSH was low, you have hyperthyroidism
