Hello there. Thanks for writing to HCM. Pain in the shoulder and arm and sort having tingling sensation in the arm is suggestive of a cervical disc problem. It could be as plain as a cervical spondylosis to a minor nerve root compression. I suggest you take an xray of the cervical spine after you see your orthopedician. In some instances, a MRI may be needed.
