Thoracic disc : You have what sounds like a thoracic disc herniation. These make up a small percentage of disc herniations (most being in the cervical or lumbar spine). Many are asymptomatic but some can cause signs of spinal cord dysfunction (weakness, difficulty walking, bowl and bladder issues, etc) and/or pain in a pattern that radiates around the chest wall.
