What Causes Shooting Pain In My Neck?
I have been expirencing neck pain with headache and dizziness on and off since I had a child 4 years ago. Its not all the time but when I have it it is scary. The dizziness is weird and hard to explain. Its not like passing out dizzy just disoriented feeling. My shoulders and neck hurt and sometimes I get a tearing noise in my neck. And sometimes it feels like surges of electricity are shooting through my neck. That sounds crazy but its as best as I can explain it. It hasnt killed me but it freaks me out. I have been to different doctors and they are no help. They wont do any scans or anthing like that to make sure its nothing. They just give me muscle relaxers and anti inflamitory meds. Should I worry?

Hi.
It's seem to be issue in your cervical spine. Please get your X-ray done and till then use tablet gabapentin 400mg with tablet nortriptyline 10mg in night. It will relieve your symptoms.
