I have had a ruptured thoracic disc since 2003. Degenerative lumbar. Fibro is what the drs. Have concluded for foot pain n swells once I get up. Pain. Am due for a mri on thoracic. Do you think this right behind breast in back is related to my foot? Could it be kidneys or anything else in your expertise? I have been to 4 drs. On foot. All leading to fibro.
