Hello,
Tingling sensation in the upper shoulder is suggestive of compression or irritation of the nerve.
I suggest you consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and diagnosis of the condition.
Management can only be done when the correct diagnosis is made.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
