Hi...

Your scapular underneath pain could be due to imbalance of muscles around the shoulder girdle..and muscular connection between neck and chest..

I would like to suggest you

To keep it icing frequently as this will soothe your nerves and relaxes muscle...
To knead gently around the scapular and pectoral muscles... and neck muscles...
Stretch your chest.. Neck..upper back muscles...
If you have a foam roller I would suggest you to lie on top of roller and roll your upper back...
start gentle stability exercises for your neck and shoulder like..Resisted neck extension...shoulder shrugs....keeping you arma and elbow close to the body pulling a resistance tube away with both hands...
Do swimming to relax your muscles

Hope this is helpful for you..
Kindly revert back incase you need any further clarification....
