Default A thoracic disc bulge--

--would be unlikely to result in arm/shoulder/neck symptoms, as the nerve roots that lead to the major nerves in those areas are in the cervical spine area.

The numb toe also implies that there's something else going on, although that may be completely unrelated to the shoulder/neck/arm pain.

It does sound as if you need a further work-up--was your MRI inclusive of the neck area (cervical spine)?
