Q: Upper Back Pain With Leg Pain

I worked on some home improvement projects for couple of years, since November of 2006 I can not do much physical worked. One day a waked up with very bad back pain as well as pain/pins and needles in my right leg.

I tried chiropractor, acupuncture, massage, physical therapy but I am still in pain.
My lower back feel better now, but my pain starts from the right side next to the T7 disk.
The pain travel from my right upper back all the way to my right leg, I feel pain/pins and needles in my right foot. My right back muscles where I have pain they are tight and stiff as well.

Next to the T7 disk I have a bump as well as bruise “Bigger that a nickel but smaller than a quarter”
MRI of my lower and upper spine was normal.
Any idea what might be the problem, my doctor does not know what causes my pain.

Thanks,
O.R.

Have you been to a spine specialist for a diagnosis?

If you are using your primary doctor for diagnosis he/she is not qualified to diagnose a spinal problem or really determine if your MRI is normal.

Your MRI reading is just that, the opinion of a radiologist.

You sound like you need to see a spine specialist for a diagnosis
