Not sure what the injury timeout rules are, but if the 'shoulder hurts' then hang up the ratchet!

A player may in fact be dq'd for leaving the court without first seeking permission from an official, but I am not sure off all the circumstances involved wth this particular situation. 

andrewmah:
In the first instant, the Tournament Refree or Director should be inform of the time-out. His approval is necessary for the time out and it would be 3minutes according to ITF rulings.

Thereafter, player fail to resume will be DQ.
