Default Winged Scapula

Hi guys I'm going to start off by saying I won't be able to afford a doctor visit for a while. I have a winged scapula I beleive and I think I might have nerve damage let me explain:

My right shoulder slouches more than the left. It feels ALOT different than my healthy left shoulder my left shoulder sits in place nicley and feels supported, my right feels like theres some muscle missing that causes it to slouch and be really flexible. I've been lifting weights for a year and Im very healthy and muscular but still my unhealthy shoulder feels off. It pops when doing shoulder excersizes (I try to avoid excersizes that cause it to pop). Also its not growing! my left arm and shoulder keeps growing and my right is not. This im very worried about because Im 19 and I dont want to end up looking unproportioned. Same with my legs (thats another story) My left leg is growing and my right is not.

My unheathy shoulder looks and feels pushed in toward my body more than my heathy shoulder. It doesnt stick out nearly as much. I read something about a nerve being short that connects from the neck to the shoulder and it does feel like the problem is extended up to my neck. I dont have any pain I just want to grow properly and look as symmetrical as possible.

So my question is: what is the absolute best thing I can do to help this issue while I am not able to see a doctor? I read working out could make the nerve damage worse...

For weight lifters, what excersizes should I aviod at all costs?

thanks alot
