It could be simple muscular pain.
But if you have any urinary symptoms then go for USG prostate as you are aged male to rule out prostate pathology.

The most likely cause of the pain is muscular, rarely from the different causes, nerve related or gastrointestinal tract causes.Try with analgesics for a few days

Scapula pains are not a usual symptom more so if at night
Do the following
1. Blood tests- CBP, ESR, Calcium, Liver Function test and PSA
2. Plain X ray of the scapula and Chest X ray
3. If liver function test is abnormal then, Ultrasound abdomen.
All the best.
