What Do Chronic Pain And Cracking In Joints Of Body Suggest?

My daughter, 21, has chronic pain. We have spent the last year attempting to narrow down the pain & source, to no prevail. Began as shoulder pain which was believed (at the time) to be sports related... led to numbness down right arm, pain in collar bone area; over time spread to other arm. Shoulder blades feel like they are being pulled out of her back. Neck pain. Swelling. Excessive cracking of all joints. Have seen specialists in Sports Medicine, Upper Extremidies, Neurology, Vascular, Pain Mgmt, and MS. Looking for additional avenues for diagnosis.
