What Causes Constant Thoracic Pain And Pain At The Base Of The Skull?

Due to nerve compression.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The symptoms that you are having are not likely to be due to a tumor as that would have been detected on MRI scans.
The constant thoracic pain and pain at the base of the skull is likely to be due to nerve root compression or a muscle spasm. Other possibilities like MS also need to be ruled out.
Such nerve related pains are a difficult thing to treat.
In addition to the pain killers that you are taking oral muscle relaxants and medicines like pregabalin and gabapentin will help. Increase your intake of electrolyte rich fluids like fruit juices or garotade to prevent any disc dehydration o nerve irritability.
You need to consult a neurologist for proper treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Surgery is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing again.
You are having a severe pain and muscle relaxants are not helping you. Surgical treatment is recommended in such cases for decompression of the nerves. You will need a neurosurgeon for this. You can ask your pain specialist to refer you to a neurosurgeon.
Stronger muscle relaxants like Thiocolchicoside can help you till then.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
