Brief Answer:
Can be cervical spondylosis or shoulder impingement.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The upper left shoulder pain and tingling that you have can be due to mild spondylottic changes in cervical spine or shoulder impingement.
X-ray of the cervical spine and MRI scan of the shoulder can help in proper diagnosis.
1) Provide complete rest and avoid overhead activities.
2) Apply cold compresses and take some anti inflammatory pain killer after consulting your doctor.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
