Symptoms of thoracic vertebra herniation, common symptoms tell you

Nowadays, the disease of prominent chest has become more and more common in our lives. Its main symptoms are back pain, intercostal radiating pain, anterior pain and abdominal pain. Some patients may also experience urinary and reproductive system symptoms and spinal cord symptoms.

1. Back pain and radiating intercostal pain: These are the main symptoms of thoracic spondylosis, and often occur after sprain or prolonged weight bearing or sitting. Initially, the pain is mostly localized, concentrated near a certain part of the thoracic spine. It is aggravated after continuous physical labor in a certain fixed posture, so that it is necessary to frequently change the body position or increase the amount of exercise to relieve the pain. In addition, patients are often awakened by pain during sleep at night and feel abnormal discomfort in the back, mainly soreness, heaviness, dull pain or burning pain between the shoulder blades, and a feeling of pressure in the chest.

2. Anterior pain: This is often the cause of patients' fear, and they often seek medical treatment because they suspect they have angina pectoris.

3. Abdominal pain: Disease of the lower thoracic vertebra may cause abdominal pain similar to that of acute abdomen, which may sometimes be misdiagnosed as acute cholecystitis, appendicitis and other diseases. There have even been reports of laparotomy exploratory surgery due to this disease.

4. Urinary and reproductive system symptoms: When the lower thoracic vertebrae are damaged, there may occasionally be symptoms such as renal colic-like pain, difficulty urinating, decreased libido, and male impotence.

5. Spinal cord symptoms: relatively rare, mainly caused by thoracic disc herniation, often acute or subacute after trauma.

The above article has introduced us to the symptoms of thoracic vertebra herniation in detail. I believe everyone now understands that thoracic vertebra herniation can cause great harm to patients, so everyone must pay attention to it. Once this disease is discovered, it is best to take measures to treat it as soon as possible.
