A member asked:

Reasons for spine pain to touch for over 3 months feels like bruise and radiates with or without motion? lower lumbar and mid thoracic locations.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Full work up please: Most often, this could be a sprain or strain in the area, but suggest a full history and physical to rule out something more rare but more problematic. May need imaging test, such as spinal MRI.
