What Could Recurrent Pain And Tingling In Scapula Of A Teenager Indicate?

my 15 yr old daughter is suffering recurrent tingling and associated pain in the region below her right scapula..5 cm above 15 cm below. Scapula has also started to mildly wing. She also complains about pain in her hips, left thigh and ankles. Our GP says she is too young for major issues. I don't want to ignore.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. I am sorry your daughter is not well. Though I agree with your GP, that she is not in the typical age range for major issues, it is clear that there is something going on. I would start by consulting with a neurologist, though you may at some point also need an orthopedist. A thorough history and exam will lead to the diagnosis and proper treatment.
