Can anyone tell me what nerve/symptom this is?

Specifically, the nerve going down from the armpit veritcally.

I'll ask about this here, in case anyone reads it and knows some very obscure problem. But, basically, I have a sensation of tightness with a hint of inflammation that runs from my left face, down my neck and then close along my left spine to about c9. Similar issues on the left side in a sciatic nerve region. Inner left armpit feels tight. As a result I tend to pull my head to the left. It's not painful, it's not alleviated by any position and reacts to exercise and stimulants to become tighter, and feels maybe a more 'swollen', but never painful as I'd describe pain.

So it feels like the path of a nerve, but I've seen 3 neurologist and gotten: bad posture, sensatization disorder and "the areas near a nerve are reactive following an infection". None of them make any sense at all, so as I search for answer I turn to PR. And it also doesn't come with any distinct signs of a specific nerve, e.g. weakness, numbness or neuropathic pain. Yet, it's quite apparent all the time and it's miserable to live with.

The only background I have atm is I do have sings of axonal changes and demyelination vias an EMG and NCS. But I haven no abnormal immune results.
