Hi,

The shoulder pain and weakness are in keeping with your current diagnosis and unfortunately may indicate that there is neuropathy occurring in these areas as well.
If you have not had any imaging of the cervical spine and thoracic spine, this may need to be done. The medication that you currently use for neuropathy, should also help these symptoms as well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
