Red face TOS versus pinched nerve in the neck

My doctors are in disagreement about whether my nerves are being compressed in my spine or in my brachial plexus. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar dilemma?? And, if so, were the doctors able to resolve it? How?

A number of doctors have read my cervical MRI's and have not found any major disk problems. However I do have a an abnormal EMG showing re-innervation in the muscles supplied by my C7 nerve root.

The main reason I ask is because I am wondering whether to try getting a cervical epidural to see if that relieves my pain. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on this particular treatment also.

Many thanks for all thoughts!
