The CT scan isn't the end all of finding out what is wrong. It is only one diagnostic tool. Your MRI will tell a whole lot more I think. Jo*Mar is right about at least asking your doctor if these symptoms you are having could be anything like TOS. In my case I had many of the same symptoms you are having, and it was definately in my cervial neck area. Very painful....
Are you seeing a neurologist? or a neurosurgeon for the evaluations??
Keep in touch I do care. It is hard to go through all this testing. Hopefully the doctors will be able to find out what is really wrong and give you some kind of hope for relief. Nobody wants to live in that kind of pain if it can be helped. Yeh the chiropracter isn't such a hot idea when the spine has trouble like that. Not unless a neurosurgron clears you to do so. Most general doctors don't say much at all about it. My own doctor (no longer my doctor) suggested Chiro practor before he even did an xray...BAD idea. I wish you all the best. Leesa is great at reading MRI's. I am OK at it, but she is the best. ginnie
