Default 2 Years in Pain, I need answers

Hi all.
I just found this group and have been reading a lot of your posts. Many of your posts sound very similar to what I have been going through.

Heres my history:
I workout a lot, mix of weight lifting and gymnastics type of movements. I gained about 25 lbs of muscle within a year so theres obvious inclinations of anatomy getting shifted around quickly. Anyways, about 2 years ago I fell off a set of rings (like gymnastics rings) and immediately felt a pinching pain in my shoulder/tightness in the front of my neck. Later on/next few days, the pain became extremely severe. Went to the dr but I was diagnosed with a severe illness and stopped all activity for 2-3 months in which the pain persisted. After a year I finally got everything checked out.
-Cervical MRI: some disc herniation but spine specialist reported normal, nothing to worry about
-Brachial Plexus MRI: normal
-EMG: one reported normal, one reported with some abnormalities
-seen m3-4 chiropractors, PT for 6 months (ART, gratson +exercises all which do nothing, possibly make it worse), trigger point injections for 1.5 years, cervical epidural done... all no relief
-take topomax
-gone to two neurologists, both tell me its muscular

-pain is in my pinky and ring finger, bicep, shoulder, shoulder blade area, pec/chest, subclavicular/infraclavicular areas, up SCM, jaw and occipital headaches

-fatigue with brushing hair, teeth etc.

I could go on...

Any suggestions?
