Could This Ear Infection Be Related To The Shoulder Pain In Someway?

I have been seeing a Chiropractor for the last two months for a pain in my right shoulder. The pain radiates out from the joint and often migrates down to the elbow joint and even results in numbing and tingling sensations in the hand. Xrays have been done and there appears to be NOTHING out of place. At the same time I have been getting repeated ear infections in my right ear. The ear infections manifest themselves via dizzy spells and swollen glands in my throat rather that ear pain, although some slight pain has been present at times. I have been through three rounds of three different oral antibiotics, antibiotic drops and one steriod shot. I have an appt. this week with an ENT physician as I am still suffering from dizzy spells and fear the ear infection is still present. All that being said my question is "could the two be related?"
