I have thoracic back pain on my left side about bra level. It sometimes wraps around to my front ribs. It’s aggravated by using my arms… washing dishes, hanging clothes, washing my hair etc. it has left me unable to do much of anything, because it is excruciating.
I know exactly what causes it. I have pinched nerves in that area due to Radiculopathy.
I already go to a pain clinic for chronic pain for other conditions. They have tried injections, and that’s it. Last time they told me to go to an acupuncturist. 🤔
I’ve gotten no help with disabling condition. It’s seriously impacting my quality of life!

Gosh what an ordeal!

So you have a thoracic level radiculopathy documented with imaging and there’s not a surgeon- orthopedic or neuro - who will intervene? Did they say why?

I have something similar but I think mine is a spasm instead of a knot when I twist around to either side - As in when I am trying to reach something behind the seat I’m sitting in. It really hurts and takes my breath away. I have to wait for it to pass. But it always does.
