I think the next logical step is to consult a neurosurgeon for evaluation and advice. He/she will examine you and review your MRI and discuss any other testing or treatment options, if any are deemed advisable.

A vertebral body hemangioma is typically a benign coincidental finding of little clinical significance. The pain radiating from neck to arm could represent nerve root compression, at the neck or even brachial plexus issues. Return to your physician and discuss appropriate further steps.
