I could tell it was damaged visually with the winged scapula, and also with the increase in pain, and yes I was and still am limited in my movements with my right arm/shoulder. Dr. Ellis said it seems like my nerves heal well since my long thoracic nerve "appears" to have healed, although I am seriously questioning it is fully healed. And if I press down on my shoulder blade or scapula, I get immediate symptoms traveling to my neck and head and down my arm.
I think what helped with mine was the manual therapy so maybe try that instead of strengthening? Strengthening is usually the last part of the healing process so if you still experience pain and limited movement I would suggest trying that.
