Numbness of 2 fingers could be caused by spondylotic changes in the neck spine. The same reason can be responsible for muscle spasms in the hand, too.

Shoulder pain can be due to neck spondylosis but inflammation of the soft tissues around the shoulder joint can also cause it.

Kidney disorders are probably not related to these pains but it is very likely to be related to the high blood pressure you have.

With so many physical disorders (high blood pressure, kidney disorder, muscle spasms…) it is not strange if you have insomnia. Your insomnia is probably related to the rest of the disorders you have.
