What type of doctor are you working with on this? Who read the MRIs? Sometimes one doctor will read an MRI and not see anything, and another doctor who is better at seeing subtle nerve issues will read the MRI and see a problem. I worked with a spine surgeon who never bothered with radiologist's reports. He always read the films himself because he was better at seeing the issues in them.
What type of pain is it? Stabbing, burning, etc.? Is there numbness and tingling? Is it positional, meaning it is better or worse depending on what position your arm is in? Are there other symptoms? Have you had an injury?
If you can tell us a little more detail, maybe we can point you in the right direction with some resources.
