Brief Answer:
There shouldn't be any serious outcome.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back,

For diagnosis of winged scapula one needs to undergo some musculo-skeletal examination, even a simple GP can catch the issue if there is one.

I would like to encourage you to visit a GP just for checkup.

What can be done?:

Well there are many people with winged scapula(yet to be confirmed by doctor) , all those people more o less live normal lives and usually their body learn to function with it, other muscles learn to compensate the weakened muscles of winged scapula so they don't face any issues in normal functioning of life.


In most of cases one doesn't need any intervention or treatment only physiotherapy is required in few cases.

I would suggest you to visit a GP or an orthipedic doctor for evaluation and treatment options they can offer (if required)

Now we come to issue of sleeping at left, Why are you concerned about it and what are your doubts about it? if you would like to share with me?

Thanks

Brief Answer:
That is very less likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back, and appretiating my responses , I always try to come up with responses which can relieve the anxiety of my patients, there are always positives in every thing.

No SIR..!! sleeping on a particular side DOES NOT cause any issues... our body is strong enough to bear it's weight.

As far as scapula is concerned it should be checked by a doctor in person to be labeled as winged. Just wind during bike ride rarelt cause this thing as our neck muscles are quite strong , but still do get a checkup.

You can get back to me any time through my profile, From there it would be me answering you.

Stay blessed an healthy I am always open to your queries.

Regards
