What Causes Increasing Tenderness Of A Thoracic Vertebrae On Palpation?

Please consult your oncologist to rule out bone metastasis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This pain should not be ignored and you should not wait with it any longer. I assume that you are under oncologist control. When was your last Ca 15-3 level checked? What was the stage of your breast cancer?
Your symptoms can be caused by a condition unrelated to the breast cancer. Spine disc herniation or osteoporosis can be the reason of your symptoms.
However, as you are breast cancer survivor, and this cancer likes to give bones metastases many years after the treatment, you should consult your oncologist at first. Spine MRI, Ca15-3 and ALP should be done. PET scan or bones scintigraphy should be considered.
Please do not wait with it.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
