Shoulder pain: Could be referred from c spine. Mri is better test for nerve root impingement.

Doubtful: Have you had evaluation of your brachial plexus, and x-rays to rule out presence of cervical rib? Thoracic outlet syndrome could potentially be an explanation. An EMG of the brachial plexus could pinpoint the focal source of your discomfort.

Absolutely: Cervical spondylosis is a much more common cause of radiculopathy and nerve pain than thoracic outlet syndrome, a cervical rib, a brachial plexopathy or shoulder impingement syndrome, particularly with confirmed cervical spondylosis. Have a spine specialist consult. The history is extremely important and the patterns. Emg/ncv' s are sometimes helpful, but not always.
