How To Treat Thoracic Vertebral Region Pain?
I am 26years old, 5ft 2in, weighing 72kgs. For about a tear i am having a back ache in the thoracic vertebral region. While sleeping i feel a lot of pain while turning sideways, so i try to sleep straight, on my back. Since the age of 5, I have arthritis, lately I also suffered from low back pain and doctors asked me to do regular yoga and no forward bending.Please suggest what should i do, as i am totally against taking pain killers, though i can t help it when the pain becomes severe.

Hello,
Physical therapy may help you feel better. Anyway, you should get imaging evaluation such as MRI of the thoracic spine for a correct diagnosis. Discuss with a spine specialist for these issues.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
