I was was having pain in my chest and abdomen and a band like feeling comming from my back to my front, the mri shows a central herniated disc @ T9-T10 level , i get stabbibg or a shocking pain just under my rib cage that comes and goes, the neurosurgeon sent me to a pain clinic to try ESI we did one with no help, they now want a new MRI , anyone ever dealt with a issue like mine? any input is very helpful, ( what should i expect for the future?) i am 47 years old... Thanks (mark)
