A member asked:
Could a compression fracture at t8 or small hiatal hernia cause a burning/aching sensation underneath the left rib near the sternum that is sensitive to touch and worse after standing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, a compression fracture at T8 could irritate a nerve in the spine which at that level would cause pain that radiates underneath a rib. This is known as a thoracic radiculopathy.
