I did have an MRI of my c-spine. I have some disc degeneration, but nothing that would cause my symptoms. I've had x-rays done as well. No extra cervial ribs. No history of trauma. I had a doppler study done that basically shows I loose my pulse on the right side with my arms at 90 degrees, 180 degrees and in military position both looking straight and to the left. If I sleep on my stomach with my arms above my head I basically wake up with a "dead arm". I've stopped sleeping on my stomach all together. I know the best position is my back, but I just can't fall asleep that way.

My pain was the worst back in Feb. I'd say a "8/10" on my worst days. I had a muscle knot the size of a golf ball in my neck/shoulder area that is much smaller, but never goes away. Since doing PT every day for the shoulder and doing some posture correction exercises that my PT recommended I'd say my pain is "6/10" at worst, but that's only if I stretch/exercise every day.
