Default Anyone have random uncontrollable spasms- scapula, upper body

New to forum. Daughter is a 15 year old competitive year round volleyball player. Experienced worsening pain in shoulder over 5 week period, made with volleyball. Ortho doctors diagnosed brachial plexus disorder, scapula dyskensia, instability of shoulder joint due to loose ligaments. Referring to vascular doctor for review for TOS.

A symptom that the ortho doctors find perplexing are random spasms. A violent jerking of the arm, or upper body. Occuring either with use or for example when laughing or even yawning. I have not see any mention of this in the forums. Has anyone else seen this?

Other symptoms seem to point to VTOS - burning pain down arm, swollen bluish arm and hand when playing vb or when spasm. A bright red line appearing down her arm. Numbness and coldness of the hand.

Seeing 2 theories appear as to underlying cause - compression or scapula issues
