it depends on the day; but if I'm sitting with my back pressed against a chair or lying in a bed the pain on the disc becomes more noticeable; I've had nerve root blocks to the disc which helps the inflammation and does make it more tolerable; my recommendation is to get your doctor to order an mri of your thoracic spine to determine if you do indeed have a problem

Remember Newhere, MRI did not tell my story at all. doctors looked at it and said nothing was really bad enough to cause pain. but after i finally recovered from that horrible surgery (with the accident) i am pain free in that area.
I'd say go for the discography with a good doctor. cyber mommy judy

Newhere i especially hope it stops for you, you are too young to be dealing with this.
Jeff hope you find a good surgeon. One who really cares about his patients. judy

I also had the ct scan afterward. I felt pain a lot worse than my normal pain, the same thing but so much worse, i cried it hurt so bad for a short time though. It was the correct disc though, because after it was gone a few months so was my pain in that area.
