What Causes Shooting Pain In Chest And Back Of Head Of A 13 Year Old?

I have a 13 year old daughter that was born with the Prader-Willi syndrome. She had been experiencing sharp shooting pain in her chest, sharp shooting pain in the back of the head and now her left leg has gone numb. We have been to the ER but they were not able to help and sent us home. Any idea what could be causing her issues?

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
This could be because of the stiffness of the neck muscles causing such pain.
Muscle relaxant should be tried.
Thanks
