I am not even sure how to pose this question. I have pain sporadic pain and what seems like swelling in neck around C4-C5. When it gets bad, my shoulder becomes elevated and a strange tingling, muscle weakness happens in side of head and continues down to under backside of ribcage. I have had blood work, MRI, X-ray which doctors claim cannot substantiate what I am feeling. This all began out of blue 3 years ago July, and headaches were the first symptom. It has progressed since then. Any ideas?? Thanking you in advance
