Brief Answer:
It can be cervical spondylitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Pain in right shoulder with tingling in hand is most probably cervical spondylitis. In this condition there is nerve compression in neck due to disc herniation in spinal canal.I would recommend you following.
1.Get x ray of the neck to confirm the diagnosis.
2.You need to avoid alcohol and smoking.
3.Avoid keeping neck in same position for long time. Avoid using very high pillow.
4.Intermittent cervical traction exercises will be helpful for you.
5.Take Pregabalin M one daily a night time after discussing with your doctor.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. I will try my best to help you.
thanks
