Could be your neck: Have your doctor check you for neck problems which can press on the nerves going to the shoulder and arm. It could also be coming from a muscle spasm in he upper shoulder.

Massage and therapy: Try massage and physical therapy for muscle relaxation. Sometimes an anti-inflammatory or muscle relaxant can also be of some benefit. If no relief, you may want to consider an MRI of the c spine and left shoulder. Tingling may be due to some nerve impingement from the muscle spasms.
