Minimal buldging T6, T7 and T8

[19sarah87]

Hi all,

Iv had ongoing pain for the last couple of years, this including pain in back, arms stomach legs, including knees, joints and hips. Pins and needles and numbness in limbs and twitches in legs. I was given b12 injections because of alot of neurological issues but it didn't work. I was then sent for a head mri and full spinal mri all come back as normal ( well apart prom the claim i had certain tests that came back normal when they did not give me said tests) apart from minimal buldging of T6,7 and 8. Now I had a little Google and its a one size fits all stating a minimal buldging of t vertebrae doesn't usually cause pain and its usually found accidently via an mri.

My question is does any one else have this type of minimal buldging disc and could this be the reason for my pain? I only managed to get this information by doing a SARS and requesting my results so I am yet to speak to some one but I'd rather gather enough for a fight rather than be fobbed off and left,

Thank you in advance

Hi, I'm yet to have a MRI, had one at the bottom on my back and that showed nerve touching but not compressing, my problems are similar to you, between T1 and T5 vertebrae there is constant pain, when I had a steroid injection it didn't work, haven't had review yet and since looking on here I'm gonna ask for denervation, the doctor said the muscles were thinner in the area and it looked sore, I hope you get some better results than me, mine was from a car accident years ago and it's gotten worse, had my injection in June suppose to have a 6 week review, heard nothing, your not alone, I have written to the doctor and called, his secretary is pretty useless though, good luck, I know your frustration, it's so annoying not knowing and being fobbed off
