Yes, I have had lots of opinions but nobody wants to work on the thoracic (as you my know). All but one agreed that I needed surgery. I was referred to the doctor that I am seeing now by the doc that did my neck surgery. I had some injections done last year but according to the new MRI's, they were done at the wrong level. He did the nerve root injections to confirm that T7 was where my pain was coming from. I have not had a discogram. Do you have any ideas of someone who does a less invasive? I only know of 2 in the country.

It's a good think you have slowed down. You have had a lot of surgeries. Give yourself time to recover. It feels weird in your hips or your back? Since your last surgery? Maybe from the recovery? After my last surgery, my hip caused me crazy pain because I couldn't lay on my back.

I know how you feel about the pain meds. I would love to be off of them!
