What Does Twitching Sensation In The Neck Indicate?
My 16 yr old daughter has muscle jerks in her head and neck with vocalization, she says that she can feel them coming on, in her brain, like you would feel a sneeze coming on. She also gets muscle pain through her body and is fatigued a good part of the day. I just recently found out that my mother s first cousin developed MS when she was 14. Could my daughter possibly have MS?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have twitching sensation in the neck. Well there can be many reason for the symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondolysis , bruxism , spasm of neck muscle , wrong posture or respiratory track infection . Such symptoms can also occur due to nerve press. I would suggest you to take proper rest , do not exert your body , do gentle stretching exercise of neck and jaw muscles and start physical therapy of jaw and neck muscles . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper evaluation . Doctor will examine physically and ask you to do certain movements . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxants , anti inflammatory and vitamin supplements specially vitamin e an b complex. Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
