Nerve pain in back
Does anyone have nerve pain in back in thoracic area. I have had it for over a year. Had 2 M.R.I which show a small disc bulge at s1 but my pain is in middle of the back and around ribcage. The worst part is relentless throbbing. I struggle every day with this. Have been prescribed pregabalin which doesn't help. Also tried Amitriptyline.
I just want to feel there are others out there. People don't understand the invisible pain.

I have had thoracic pain since my last back surgery on July 29, 2021. They did an MRI last August and all they found was two bad disc in my neck. The surgeon told me that was the reason for my thoracic pain, from nerve’s from the neck. Well, I had Cervical fusion at C6-7 and C5-6 on September 16 of last year, and it helped the thoracic pain for around two month’s, and then it came roaring back. I can’t get comfortable enough at night to sleep very well, and that’s causing my depression to flare up. I feel for you, believe me I do, because nerve pain affects everything you do. And most people don’t believe you, including Doctor’s, because they can’t see it. I’m about ready to go to Mayo Clinic if I can’t get answer’s locally. But that cost money that I don’t have. I’m about ready to just end the pain permanently. I’ve had this stupid pain since August of 2000 when I had my first fusion surgery due to a farm accident. It’s getting really old! I’ll keep you in my prayer’s, because right now God is the only one keeping me alive. Hang in there, I know it’s tough, but don’t give up hope! Hope is the only thing we have!
