What Causes A Feeling Of Electric Shock In Shoulder Blades?

Hi there, my 17yr old daughter is complaining of what she can only describe as an electric shock in her shoulder. She could be out walking or sitting watching TV when she would get a dart of it, she also says that her neck is sore and that when she bends her head forward the bone that she feels in her neck feels like it could snap. She says she has these symptoms for the past week but she only told me about them today. She googled these symptoms today and is worrying that she has MS. She was prescribed Dianette which she has been taken since March this year. Please can you tell me your thoughts?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, the symptoms seem more of a disc disease in the cervical region rather than MS, as Ms involves whole body, get an MRI done of the cervical spine and see the problem. meanwhile, do not use a pillow, under your head, keep a rolled towel under your neck, or can use contoured cervical pillows.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
