If you have pain in the shoulder that radiates all the way down to the fingertips then it is possible that you have damaged or in some way irritated a nerve in the shoulder. The pain is being felt in the sensory territory of the nerve which extends all the  way down to the fingers.
I would suggest that you consult a neurologist ,ideally one who can perform
an EMG examination as this would identify the exact nerve involved.
I do not know where you live but any latrge University clinic would have these facilities. If you want a consultation at the Cleveland Clinic the number for Neurology appointments is (216 ) 444 5559, no referral is necessary.
