It looks to me that your nerve compression at neck is causing these symptoms which are called as paraesthesia , in which patient complain like walking on nails or cotton. I would recommend you to show to a neurologist for this. He may ask you to get MRi of spine to confirm what is causing you all this problem.Till that time i will recommend you Pregabalin and Methylcobal tablet for symptomatic relief.
