Brief Answer:
Nerve damage to consider.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Total shoulder replacement surgery is considered a major operation and could result in nerves , vessels, etc. damage as possible complications.
Your symptoms seems to arise from nerve damage or compression so getting evaluated further by a Neurologist or your surgeon and by tests such nerve conduction study, EMG and probably by MRI of the shoulder is necessary to get a correct diagnosis.
Treatment depends on these tests results.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
