Shane Sprague replied to Daniel Walsh's discussion 'Pain in upper back and ribs'
Sounds like a possible thorasic disc herniation. Have you had a doctor check this out? Pobably should have an MRI. I have similar pain and found that I had 2 thorasic disc herniations at T7/T8 and T8/T9. I had some pain/steroid injections that…

Pain in Legs

I have recently had a discectomy/fusion at C5-C6 to alleviate pain and numbness in my hands and arms. Also, I have disc herniations at C7-T1, T7-T8 and T8-T9. Over the past 2 years I have been dealing with back pain along with severe leg pain. An MRI of the lumbar spine showed no problems. Is it possible that compressions of the spinal cord in thorasic area can cause this leg pain? Any advice for pain relief?
