Well, I still feel confused. The thoracic doc I went to did send me to a neurologist. I haven't called him [thoracic] back because I am unsure if I need an MRI. An xray seems more justified, but, indeed my prescription says MRI of Cspine [cervical?]...

Alexander classes are interesting. I'm not entirely happy with my first two but I'll stick with it. I'd rather find a good myofascial physical therapist in the Santa Ana area then spend $800 for a MRI...

I'm not sure what to do right now. I can type. I can get through the head. Theres a dull aching pain in my chest, neck and a burn in my arm but its manageable. I want things to get better, I don't like the idea of waiting another 4 years to get this fixed...

So, thank you all for the advice. I think physical therapy might be my next best bet, unless I decide to put some faith in the thoracic surgeon I saw.... sigh.
