A member asked:
Can a "trigger point"/"muscle knot" appear as a hard lump on the thoracic spine itself? i have 2 hard "lumps" + sometimes dull pain there + elsewhere

Screening evaluation: is needed to answer your question. A musculoskeletal screening evaluation may reveal the presence of a spine disorder, an important consideration in thoracic spine pain syndrome. Palpation of the muscles may reveal the presence of muscle trigger points which can refer pain to the other areas like the lower back.
