Conflicting MRI diagnosis - don't know what to do!

[botimat]

I'm originally from Israel but move to San Francisco a few months ago.

I've have a chronic pain on my right side from my neck to my shoulder blade and traps and spent years try to find what my problem was. I have had 2 MRI and both of them indicated a really minor disc bulge at c5-c6 that shouldn't cause any pain. I went to SF Kaiser Parmamente and they suggested I do MRI and these are their diagnosis: "Mild multilevel degenerative changes of the cervical spine without significant spinal canal stenosis." and suggested I take epidural steroids injection, which I took and it didn't help to reduce my pain. now I went back to Israel for a few weeks, made another MRI and again they said I only have a disc bulge at C5-C6.. seriously? I don't understand.. I tried literally anything, went to every doctor possible in Israel and there is no diagnosis and in KP in SF they claim otherwise. What should be my next move? please help my I'm really clueless and the pain is really unbearable.
