Thank you for the replies - Jo*Mar, what you say about the nerve blocks is very encouraging and gives me a little hope (not easy these days).

The C7 are indeed longer than the T1 - I was told it was 'minimal' and looking on the x-ray to me it looks like a good few mm but it's hard to say as the x-ray quality is very poor.

They are elongated on both sides but the right is slightly bigger plus my neck curves to the right which makes it worse too. I can actually feel a 'click' of what feels to be bone on bone in my right shoulder, around that area... that can't be right can it?

This happens when I wake up in the morning and when I have been sat typing or crocheting etc.

I'm wondering if this small problem is agrravating my tight shoulders and they in turn are crushing some nerves... with any luck something like a nerve block could help with diagnosis?
