Nerve damage due to injury or beginning of neuropathy?

For the past couple of months I have had bouts of tingling and shooting pain down my right arm into my thumb and sometimes my left side of my pointer finger. I was in a bicycle accident a couple of years ago and had somewhat similar muscle pain and some tingling on the left side at that time. I visited a chiropractor for a year and was in the maintenance phase when the right side started acting up around July. I returned to my chiro on a weekly basis for some deep tissue work and adjustment, but the pain and tingling do not seem to be getting much better, though my muscles are much less tight. The pain seems to start in my shoulder joint, which makes me think this is more of a brachial nerve injury versus neuropathy. I've had diabetes for over 26 years and am thinking should I be worried? Anyone in this group dealt with neuropathy?
