Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns.

Yes your symptoms are related to your Shoulder injury which may result in nerve compression and hence the symptoms.

I advise you to consult an Orthopedician at the earliest.

You can upload your reports for better evaluation.
