Have Pain With The Thoracic Region Of The Spine. Have Tingling Sensations On The Arm. MRI Done. Treatment?

I m having severe pain within the thoracic region of the spine, accompanied by severe cranial spasms, and leg/arm tingling sensations. This was a gradual onset, and I believe it resulted from a car wreck 6-7 yrs ago. Below is a link to my mri data. efilm lite is utrilized so if the entire zip package isn t needed, then you can download just the PA(DICOM images) directory as a zip. One of the points I noticed is in Se:5/9 Im: 6/12 and Se:6/9 Im: 7/14 WWW.WWWW.WW or if you already have efilm_lite: WWW.WWWW.WW I m using windows xp for the efilm app(go into eFiLmlite directory, and click on eFilmLt, which has a double overlapped capital M icon) , and just the individual shots can be viewed in gimp if necessary, or another DICOM image viewer. I ve seen, but not used dicomscope in the package manager on the linux/debian distro I use, which is ubuntu.

Hi, after a span of about 7 years it may not show the effect, it could be due to the musculr spasm may be due to the defeciency of calcium. other causes may be increase in hypertension, lung infection, or gastric irritation.
So for varification, you consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.

Hi
Thank you for this question.

Pain in the thoracic region may be from muscle strain or spraining a ligament. A car wreck 7 years ago is unlikely to be a direct cause of pain. It is very difficult to comment upon the cause of this back pain as well as generalized tingling that you have without a full examination and imaging. You need to see a neurologist for clinical evaluation as well as imaging as necessary.

Wish you the best.
