Nondiagnostic: Your symptom is nondiagnostic without further information and it is not possible to exclude a spinal origin of your discomfort. I recommend that you visit your physician who will take a thorough history and perform an examination. After doing so appropriate tests and/or xrays will be ordered for diagnosis and treatment.
