thoracic spine disease

Have you ever had problems with your back making a popping sound followed by a wave of pain? I've been going to physical therapy, which seemed to help for a day or two afterwards.

 

But now it seems like it's getting worse, not better. Today was definitely the worst day because the right shoulder hurt to touch anything, and any movement was shooting pain. My ribs have been sore because of the waves of pain. I was having problems walking to the living room because it hurt so much. I took a muscle relaxer and pain medications, which dulled some of the pain. I'm not sure if this is normal for arthritis? I can't make a doctor's appointment until Monday due to the holiday.

 

I'm just tired of this pain and afraid to move because it's getting to the point where I can't stand this shooting pain anymore.

I had something happen very similar to you in the back spasms. Turns out I pinched a nerve and needed put me on muscle relaxant/anti-inflammatory pills for a good week. I couldn’t turn the handle of a door without feeling my whole back spasm in complete pain. Didn’t dare toke at times because the smoke would make me cough and I would just be crying in pain. Edibles were thankfully provided to me  by my sister to help me out, which they did. Hope you feel better soon, but get yourself the meds for relief

@silentbob I have been taking Cyclobenzapr 10 MG for about a month. I'm going to the doctor again tomorrow because it hasn't improved.


I wonder if you have a slipped disc in your spine and pinching a nerve. I know it nerve pain because of my back problem as mentioned above and because of my wrist injury that was 3+ years before a surgery fix. That felt every now and then like breaking/shattering my arm, and only pounding a hard surface would relieve my pain by slipping the nerve out of the pinch.

My doctor says I have significant thoracic spine disease, present at approximately T5-6 through T10-11. I'm going for an MRI at the end of the month. She's referring me to a spinal specialist to figure out what to do next. In a week or two, I'll hear back from the specialist office to see when my appointment is.
