I am in need of advice... Don't know what to do anymore :P

I have been ongoing the same injury for over a year now, i got pain down arms/shoulders/back/neck etc and get headaches/dizziness (especially when working out, but i have pain throughout the day 24.7) I can't turn my neck without pain, and it feels like some serious nerve pain everywhere else, especially shoulders.
as well as a lot of spine discomfort (a **** load of clicking and pain when i apply a bit of pressure to my thoracic/cervical spine
I got an MRI and it just says that my cervical 3/4 are bulged and compressing the right exit of a nerve ending, which apparently shouldn't do anything. there is a desiccated disc as well..
The neurologist said this should't be causing much of my symptoms at all, except the neck pain...
So I am yet to find an answer after spending over 6K on physio/specialists/scans in the past year, left me broke as i am a student in year 12.
I have not trained for over 12 weeks now, and have wasted away completely even tho i'm on a maintenance strict eating regime...
(NOTE even lifting things like my water bottle hurts my shoulder, Also I do 10 body weight squats, then end up feeling like fainting)
I have done heaps of research and it seems like I have the symptoms of C3/4 nerve pinch and possible C5, but why didn't the scan pick up on this? and why does no one know wtf is wrong with me..

What my question is, should I keep trying to diagnose this or should I try and move on with my..'life'?

I'm no doctor, but I found this online:

While not everyone with herniated cervical disks experiences pain, pain is a common symptom. Pain may be located just at the back of the neck or may radiate down the arm, into the shoulder or into the hand. The location of herniation determines the location of pain. Herniation at C-4 and C-5 causes shoulder pain, while herniation at C-5 and C-6 can cause pain that travels down to the thumb side of the hand, according to physiatrist Richard Staehler, M.D., of the NeuroSpine Center in Wisconsin. Bulging disks in C-6 and C-7, which are the most common locations for cervical bulging disks, cause pain down the biceps and into the middle finger, while herniation at C-7 causes pain down the arm and into the little finger. Flexing the neck or looking up usually increases cervical neck pain, while looking down relieves pain, the Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch (CINN) reports.

You said you had an MRI that showed a bulging C4/C5 disc and that it "shouldn't" mean any pain exists, which is confusing to me.

I would get a second opinion.
