Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, My 11 year old son has sporatic shocking pains in his arms, and sometimes legs. Afterwards, sometimes he feels cold. We've been to a Neurologist and he told us he doesn't know what it is, but my son is healthy; he's had all types of blood tests. Do you have any idea of what it could be?
Hello cause can be Vascular - There could be some reason for poor circulation to the arm/hand. This is very commonly caused by too much muscle tension in the scalene muscles or the the pec minor muscles. The blood vessels that supply the arm/hand have to pass through these areas, via the subclavian artery, to branch off into the arm. It could also be due to a misalignment of the shoulder. If a shoulder is misaligned in external rotation, it can put a stretch on the blood vessels that pass through that area to supply the arm/hand. Pinched nerve either in your neck, shoulder, or arm. Warning signs when you need immediate consultation with another specialist neurologist Tendonitis Migraine (hemiplagic migraine) Stroke, Transient Ischemic Attack (mini-stroke) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia Reynauds disease causes constriction of the blood vessels and usually your fingers get numb, turn whitish in color.
