I'd go easy on the weights if I were you. From what I have seen here on our spinal forum, doctors do not like operating on the thoracic spine unless there is no alternative.
I wish you had included this in your introduction.
Supplements may help with repair, but if there is substantial damage, repair may be limited.

Thank you for your thoughts.
It could well be that I'm underestimating the issue, but I've had it for so long and it haven't really bothered me much.
In addition I don't really understand how a thoracic dorsal root problem could affect the legs, as the thoracic nerve roots innervates the thorax and not the legs. My problems involves muscles and skin innervated by multiple nerve roots , and all of these can not be compressed? I find this very hard to believe.
The weights are self limiting these days, only some push-and pull-ups to maintain some muscles.
