why do i have electrical shocks from my chest,possibly from brain area,running down to my adreanal glands?

Question: I found out last year my pituitary gland does not function at all.My doctor ran tests and checked my hormone levels and brain chemicals and they all turned out good.I have a pinched nerve in my neck from bad discs I assume.My rotator cuffs are also bad and the doc is not quite sure if the pinched nerve is from there or my neck.He did say it was in my neck the other day. I don't believe he is positive though.Knowing there is nothing they can do about it up here in the u.p.we didn't do any more testing. I don't want surgery unless it is a last resort.Anyways, I get electrical shocks that run down to my adreanal glands,and the reason I know this is because of the research and I can feel it.The shocking feeling stays shocking my adreanal glands for seconds at a time,and are very annoying.What is causing this and is it causing harm to my glands and other organs? What can I do about it?My doctor has to quit and I am in search of another doc, anyone willing to take my case on?U.P. Michigan

Answers:
You need to ask your doctor to refer you to a neurologist. If your primary care physician refers you, quite often insurance covers it. If not, you need to decide whether or not you can afford it and, if not, start calling public health clinics and county hospitals to find someone who can help you.

How in heaven's name did you decide that it's your adrenal glands that are being "shocked?" That sounds wrong to me, as I can't imagine they have a whole lot of pain receptors.

Honestly, your diagnosing your own conditions tells me that you don't have the best doctor around--and by that I mean YOU. Let the pros handle it, but do your research.
