Does anyone here have spinal problems? [View all]

Near crippling pain for almost two years. Can actually feel my spine when I move.. Can pinpoint the pain. MRIs yesterday (thoracic and lumbar).

Nerve impingement from bulging disk at S1/L5, but that is not where the worst of the pain is.

Pain is mid-thoracic. MRI showed two bulging disks at that location, but no nerve impingement.

So what the hell man? What the hell? Anyone who has a possible explanation gets a cookie.
