Suggest Treatment For Two Bulging Discs In The Thoracic Spine
I have two bulging discs in my thoracic spine, T-12 and T-11. I woke up hurting some but no more than normal. Since I got out of bed about 4 hours ago, the pain has gotten worse. It starts mid way up my back and goes into my shoulder and neck. It feels like I m in a vice grip and someone is slowly tightening it. I can t breathe in very deep without it hurting so bad I grab my chest. Should I try to get in with my primary doctor today or just go straight to the ER?

Hello,
Sorry for your pain.
I would advise you to go straight to the ER to make sure you are not having a mild heart attack.
Get well soon.
