Hi
I have been experiencing pain in my thoracic spine on and off for a few weeks now. I saw my GP the other day who thinks it is possible i have a pinched nerve. I see a physiotherapist on monday who will take a look at my back and decide if i need scans etc. Symptoms are - thoracic spine pain, my neck feels like tight up into the back of my head (muscular?) I have also had some unexplained symptoms for a while such as sharp pain down my right arm and leg and also my right side of my neck (not constant, on and off can go days or weeks without). Until now the Dr had no idea what was causing it (mri of brain was fine and neurologist found no probs) and also chest pain on the left and sometimes on the right (heart tests all ok)
Now i've started with this back pain she thinks all these could be linked. Is this possible? And if it is due to a nerve issue in my back, would i need surgery? Also sometimes when my back is hurting, the pain comes from the thoracic area but i have a aching painful type feeling right down my spine and i can feel it down to my vagina and anus(it is not painful but i have a hightened awareness of the area if that makes sense?)
I am 23 with no other health issues that i am aware of apart from possible fibromyalgia BUT that may not be the case as my GP thinks a lot of the symptoms ive been having could be from possible trapped nerve?
I was involved in a car crash 3 and a half years ago, very minor and i was fine apart from whiplash which lasted a week or 2. Could this be involved?
Thank you for your time
