Do you wear a brace ?
I use CBD OIL and a cream , excercise muscle relaxers. I had a burst L4 2 yrs ago and they wanted to do a 4 level fusion at the time. I would not let them. I have been working with P.T. and a pain physician.

Hi @jimriv. First of all, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad to have you here and a part of the discussion. I am sorry you are not getting the help you need. Can you tell us more about what you are doing to help with the pain?

I found this information when I searched-
- https://www.spine-health.com/conditions/upper-back-pain/thoracic-spinal-nerves
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4534852/
- https://surgicalneurologyint.com/surgicalint-articles/surgery-for-traumatic-fractures-of-the-upper-thoracic-spine-t1-t6/

What did the doctors recommend for you? Was surgery ever an option (not sure if it would help your case or not)?
