Shellb, my husband has almost exactly the same thing, doc started out treating the arm pain and pins/needles while waiting for a scan, of course X months down the line that showed nothing. So another X months wait to scan his neck. Meanwhile none of the drugs helped with the pain. Now we have the second scan results, they can't do anything to help ! but it's all taken so long that the neck has partly healed it's self, until the next time. We now believe it was all started when he hit a pot hole on his motorbike. He knows it can breakdown anytime again. So can only be super careful..
