Painful Area On Spine, Tender To Touch. No Limb Weakness. No Known Injury
Dear Doctor, I have a spot on my spine ( Thoracic area) that is painful when bending forward or hunching over. The spot where the pain radiates from also is painful and tender to the touch. The pain is not debilating, just very aggregating. I have no weakness in arms or legs. The pain has been around about a month now. I ve had no injury to that area that I know of. The pain hasn t gotten worst, but hasn t gone away. I m 33, male no history of health problems.
