Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

I would explain that your clinical situation seems to be complex, and it is necessary performing a comprehensive differential diagnosis in order to investigate for the underlying possible causes: a cervical spine disorder, vitamin D deficiency, an inflammatory disorder, peripheral neuropathy, etc..

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your physician for a careful physical check up and some tests:
- complete blood count
- a cervical spine X ray study
- a chest X ray study
- thyroid hormone levels
- vitamin D levels
- blood electrolytes
- a nerve conduction study to examine your nerves.

A cervical spine MRI study may be needed in case of an abnormal neurological exam.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
