Internal rotation is bad for your shoulders. Using a kickboard will generally put pressure on your shoulders which could make your problems worse.
When I kick on my back I don't hold my arm up in a tight streamline. I lie it above me with a bent elbow...no strain or stress on the shoulder joint at all. Perhaps underwater body dolphins would be better for you right now. You can do them with your hands at your sides and only use your arms when you come up for air. Actually you should be able to come up for air sans arms once you get the hang of it.
