I am 40. I have a history of ddd and
stenosis throughout entire spine with
tumors and bleeds also throughout entire
spine and surgeries on cerivical and
lumbar regions.
Gradually over about 4 months T7-T11 feels
swollen, no visible deformity, no
accident, no fall, no reason, feels
nothing like the problems I had with
cervical and lumbar areas that ended up
requiring surgeries.
My spine, a slight bit to the left of the
spine in the T7-T11 ( I'm estimating )
feels VERY SWOLLEN and feels like I'm
laying on a steel bar, which I'm not. No
numbness or tingling in any limbs but a
band from left to right in that area feels
very numb, no tingling, just numb.
Any ideas? I haven't made a dr appointment
b/c the specialists I have been assigned
to in my hospital only takes appointments
once a month and even with an appointment
it takes about 8 hours to wait for the
"appointment" and be seen. Makes for a
very painful day for me.
If it seems urgent I will go, I just would
like some advice if you have any of what
this could be.
Thank you!

It could be a ruptured disc that's pushing
on your spinal cord
