shoulder and arm pain

[Jewel529]

Hello, I am female, 48, in good health and relatively good shape.I have had 2 yrs of very bothersome neck, shoulder and arm pain. It is intermittent and varies in intensity. However, the pain can be excrutiating at times-especially under my shoulder blade. In november 2004 I had a cervical MRI which was normal.I just recently had it repeated since it had been 2 yrs and the pain has gotten worse. To my surprise, a significant C6-7 disc protrusion and disc degeneration was found(I don't have the exact wording on the report.)I also had an EMG that showed mild carpal tunnel. My next appointment with the doctor is not for a couple of weeks, but I am baffled by the MRI finding. Why did this show up now and not 2yrs ago when the pain started and also, the protrusion is to the left, but all of my pain is on my right side. No problems on the left side at all. Would love to hear some feedback about this. Thanks!

You may see me on net telling people about silver fillings.  The reason is that this is beconing a pandemic, so many people have silver fillings and are experiencing ailments tht are bafffling docrors.  Did you have dental work over the last 2 years when this problem began, crowns, bridge ect?  Do you have any silver fillings placed at anytime? These are questions to go over, or better yet check your mouth.  If you have silver fillings request to be tested for mercury also goodle "symptoms of silver fillings" and "Safe removal of silver fillings".  If this is not your case, I hope you have found out what is going on.
Cheers
Ps I read a case where a lady's spinal column shifted due to dental fillings.
