Interesting Question: Intraosseous Hemangioma are found many times in the spine. The likelihood they are causing pain is very unlikely however there are some documented cases of this in both Europe and USA. Usually these are treated with vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty where bone cement is added to the bone. This is quite extreme and many times insurance does not cover this treatment if its not cancer related.
