Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

It is unlikely that 8 mm nodule in right mid lung give rise to pain in scapular region.
I think it may be due to spondylotic changes in cervical spine.
You need proper clinical examination and X-ray cervical spine AP/Lateral view.
If cervical spondylosis is the cause then physiotherapy and pain killers can be given.
You need follow up X-ray for single pulmonary nodule in right mid lung. There are various causes of single pulmonary nodule.
Get well soon.

Take Care
