Pain in neck and shoulder could be muscular or related to cervical (neck) disc issues. It is easy to dismiss it as not of any importance but unless it is specifically looked into and examined a proper clinical will.not.dismiss it as simple.
Please see an Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon as they will be able to look at both the shoulder and neck to give you the best possible treatment.
You also have change of sensation in the hand which is an additional factor which needs to considered.
Assessment by a proper clinician is important for your own safety and health.
Hope this helps.

I would suggest you to not waste yiur yime in searching of orthopedist... better search a good sports physio ...and vitamin d deficiency is not the main reason of ykur neck pain shooulder pain and stiffness ..ratger its your occupational hazards if u r working .. excessive usese of multinedia tools like mobile,laptop,wrong food habit with awkward timings to consume...Lack of exercise...An faulty posture ... These are the few basic factors which is troubling you ...Plz never take concern vitamin d in such manner as body can regain and reabsorb it very easily even with the sun rays ...
Next Steps
coming to the next point. .mam..
above mentioned factors have broken down your muscles fiber and those torn fibers are settle down in the muscles itself creating shortning of its length ..which further creating malalignment of spinal segments .and other soft tissues...
Health Tips
so plz approach to a sports/orthopaedic physiotherapist who is specialised in myofascial trigger points release therapy manually or with dry needling and kinesiolocial taping application...u will be completely out of pain in few sessions and start sitting or walking /joging early in the morning in open field rather going to gym ..body will fulfill its desired vitamin d..
u will be safe for entire life without using any chemical agent as in your case it's not at all in need .
