Hi evey40, An MRI should pick up a pancoast tumor if pointed in the right direction it does. My husband's case was an exception in that an MRI didn't pick up the tumor I guess because they were looking at his scapula. Though the CT did and from what I understand a tumor causing that kind of pain can't hide from a CT.
While being thorough in the search know there are many reasons for problems with the brachial plexus (this is the place the tumor can interfere with that causes arm pain and horners syndrome).
I hope it is something other than cancer.

I also hope it isn't lung cancer, but if you do find that, there's plenty of information here, and we'll be happy to help address your questions.
