Hi redcat,

I don't really know anything about the thoracic spine.

Has your Dr seen the report? Whenever I've had an MRI my Dr tells me what it all means.

I have pain/tingling in my left arm/fingers but that's coming from the cervical spine, also pain/numbness in my left leg/foot and no one knows why, a damaged disc in the lumbar spine is too high up to cause the symptoms.

I also have the same as you though, the ligamentum thickening and a chiro once said that could be the cause of the pain, doesn't calcification mean hardening?? not sure

The facet degenerative changes can be very painful, if it's in the Lumbar area that affects your lower body.

If your arm is also hurting that's not the Lumbar area, it's either Cervical or Thoracic.

Sorry can't be of much help, take the report to a Dr and get them to explain, hope you are ok.
