What Could It Be If Having Tingling In Shoulders, Muscle Weakness, Headaches And Swelling In Neck Around C4-C5?

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

Hello,

The symptoms that you have described are related to cervical spondylosis. This can be properly diagnosed after an MRI scan of the cervical spine.
