A member asked:
I have a pain just above my right breast , below the breast and at the back. i saw a physiotherapist and she thinks it may be from a rib cage. in 2014 a neurosurgeon discovered via mri a minimal disc degeneration at c5-6. please advise on what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I concur : with your physiotherapist! Minimal disc degeneration at C-5-C-6 unless it is pressing on a nerve is probably not responsible.. I would continue with the therapy!
