A member asked:

Can thoracic disc protrusions and extrusions cause neck pain or tingling in arms and hands, or tremors?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thoracic disk sxs: No, because the nerves that supply all skin and muscles in your arms come from up above, in the c-spine, thoracic disks don't affect the arms. Typically a thoracic disk will either cause pain in the mid back, a tingling or burning radiating around the rib area, or no symptoms at all. If the disk is pressing on the spinal cord, it can result in bladder changes, trouble walking or with balance too
