A member asked:
Which thoracic disc causes stabbing pain in left ribcage?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Thoracic disk: If indeed it is a herniated thoracic disk, which is somewhat rare, it could be t1 through t12. T11 and 12 would refer to the "floating" lower ribs.

Varies: It depends on the specific area. Each if the twelve thoracic discs can cause pain that radiates into rib area.
