Posture: Without a history of trauma, neck and shoulder pain can be caused by poor posture, arthritic changes to the disc and/or joints in the neck, or an irritated nerve in the neck.

Radiculopathy: From what you are saying, it could be a cervical radiculopathy. Correlation of your MRI with an exam would likely confirm the diagnosis, other possibilities as well. Many treatment options, if it does not get better physical therapy with traction can sometimes be a good place to start.
