VerifiedHello -
On your MRI report, I would look for an issue at the C5/C6 level, as that could cause symptoms into the shoulder and bicep area.
Specifically, the C5 nerve can be responsible for weakness (difficulty lifting your arms up over your head).
The MRI of the cervical spine (hopefully the MRI request says cervical spine, and not "neck") will look at the spinal cord and the discs which could be "pinching" the nerves. It does not see the brain.
MRI performed in the ER is the same as a MRI performed at an imaging center.
