A normal MRI does help to rule out c spine & other obvious bony anomalies that could be a cause of pain/symptoms. like extra cervical rib or large bony structures.
"mild prominence of the C7 transverse processes"
does that mean on both sides?
are your sx on both sides?
I kind of wish they would say the sizes of what you have compared to what a "normal" might be... 
Quite a few in the past have had blocks to help with diagnosing & locating the area of concern. |
If the C7 transverse processes are longer then that of the T1, then they are considered elongated.
From my experience the Elongated transverse processes contribute to the symptoms but are not the underlying cause. The scalene muscles themselves are usually the cause.
