Question 2

could a nerve problem be causing such symptoms? such as left shoulder pain when breathing deeply and lying down, left arm tingling at all times.

Yes Possibly: Left arm pain and tingling certainly sounds like nerve pain, but the deep breathing and lying down also raise the possibility of other sources.  Although you are very young, left arm pain can also be radiating pain from the heart or chest area.  Start with a visit to your regular physician to narrow down the possibilities.

See your doctor: This is one of those problems where a visit to your doctor is necessary to figure out what's going on.  Only after a thorough evaluation, including examination and possibly labs and other tests, can your doctor correctly diagnose you and treat you effectively.

Probably not: Superficial infections of skin and mucosal membranes by Candida causing local inflammation and discomfort are common.  The pain and discomfort would be more related to the skin area, and would be distinguishable from true muscle and joint pain of the "neck, back and shoulder" I assume that you are referring to. If you ant to know the true cause of your issues, see the Dr for an evaluation.

No: The congenital fusion has been there since birth, and would not cause symptoms; but it is certainly possible that one of the other areas of your spine may be abnormal, possibly causing nerve impingement.
