well, being that so many people here have had MRIs and nothing's been wrong... im not too worried about getting an MRI. well, actually, id be more afraid of the MRI itself than what they find in it - i hear those things are horrible to get.

"These are more common than people know. I've had them myself. Sometimes it can be caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. Nerve endings are all over the body, so if one is pinched it can travel somewhere else in your body. It's nothing to worry about, but if it keeps bothering you please see your doctor.

Here's a test to find out if it's a pinched nerve in your neck or shoulders.

Take the fingers of both hands and press together the muscle on the very tops of your shoulders. See if this will take the shooting pains away. If it doesn't then take both hands and place on the back of your neck and press forward and hold this position. If it's a pinched nerve then this shooting pains should go away. If it does have someone give you a good shoulder and neck rub. I often use A535 rub and by the next day it's gone."
