What Causes Pain In The Center Of The Spine?

I have an uncomfortable pain in the center of my spine. It feels tender to the touch, like a bruise. I thought it would go away but I have had it for several months. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and what type of specialist I should be seeing? Thank you!

Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Your symptoms could be related to a musculo-skeletal pain or inflammation.

I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical check up and some tests:

- a cervico-thoracic spine X ray study
- inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate).

Physiotherapy may be helpful in case of chronic degeneration of the vertebral column.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes, Dr. Aida
