Anyone Have Any Info On This? Posted: 09-03-07 11:58am
i have been to many, many doctors and no
one can figure out where my thoracic back
pain is coming from....i am 27 years old
and this has been going on for about 15
months......can anyone tell me if a "small
left paramedian disc protrusion at t3/t4
that touches the left ventral cord" is a
cause for a great deal of pain....i fell
that doctors dont always know the answers
and maybe someone with a similar issue can
help
thank you

Hi Cam i think you are right when you say
doctors don't always know the answers this
is why they can be so vague about how they
answer our questions , any way all i can
say is that you have at least one disk
that is putting pressure on your nerves
that branch off near your spinal cord this
is not usually considered a really serious
condition all though it could be causing
some pain. i do not think that this is
treated by surgery back surgery is very
risky and usually reserved as a last
resort. good luck.
