Unexplained upper back pain

I did go to an orthopedic spine specialist who told me he didn't see anything wrong. I don't have a full MRI of my cervical spine, but a whole body scan image that apparently showed enough of my cervical spine that he didn't think a new one was necessary. He sent me to an orthopedic shoulder specialist who also didn't see anything wrong with my shoulder, aside from tight muscles around my shoulder blade and sent me to PT. I generally don't have neck pain though, and none of the physical tests where they bend your neck different ways caused pain, so I think no one has felt the need to send me back for a better MRI of my cervical spine.

Hello this is actually what I’m going through now the same exact thing with the chest. No pain in next. I had the same imaging down and the spine specialist said the same thing. They didn’t seem concerned and had a body scan down when getting mri for thoracic. Did you end up getting a more detailed cervical mri? How are you feeling now and did yoi figure it out ? Only thing thay helps is sometimes pt and naproxen
