Have Constant Back Pain That Radiates To Breast. X-ray Shows Dorsal Spine, Disc Space Seems Reduced. Suggestions?
My wife 70 years has a pain on the back left side which is constant & the pain travels to the left breast. An X-Ray of Dorsal Spine ( AP &LAT ) was suggested . It was done. Report says:" Degenerative Change seen in vertebral bodies. D8 - D9 disc space appears reduced.Alignment and Curvature are normal." The pain is Constant & Painful. Please suggest Remedy.
hello user, The X-Ray of spine suggests degenerative narrowing of the disc space. This narrowing of space is causing compressions of the nerve, which is giving rise to pain on affected region. The painkillers will ease your pain temporarily but the cure from medicine is rarely possible.The only cure is surgical correction of the vertebrae and might require some internal prosthesis to stablise the vertebra.
hope my info helped you regards, Dr Hari Om Chandrakar MBBS
