Answer
Michelle,
Your problem is extremely clear. They are running those tests because they make money from those tests. They also definitively help diagnose the condition. You have a pinched nerve causing the numbness and pain into your arm and finger. You have a bundle of nerves (brachial plexus)  in the bottom of your neck and upper back just above the shoulder blades (in the center of your spine) that controls all sensation in your arms. T1 nerve specifically controls the sensation in your pinky finger. This is why moving your head exacerbates the problem. The medical approach or a neurologist approach is medication (will not fix your problem , will only mask your symptoms) or physical therapy which only deals with muscles and tendons NOT nerves. Physical therapy may help but will take longer. Chiropractic is the only form of health care that will get to the cause by removing nerve pressure by re-aligning the spine. go see a chiropractor with experience and if things don't improve in 4-6 weeks then get an MRI.
Good luck!
