Perhaps at time of shoulder injury you also affected the left brachial plexus, and the shoulder "shrug" appears to stimulate the lower plexus, causing the tingling sensation in an ulcer nerve distribution. You might consider investigating this over time, but currently, your symptoms appear minimal and certainly not urgent.
